Notably: Americans love a fraud. They admire a fraud. They bask in it. They celebrate it. When frauds get caught, Americans can’t wait to rehabilitate them and celebrate them all over again–Nixon, Reagan, Milken, Trump. Think back to Charles Van Doren, the fraudster who played along with NBC on “Twenty-One,” the game show, starting in 1957. It was all a lie, well choreographed by NBC’s producers. When he testified before the Hosue Subcommittee on legislative Oversight, Van Doren lied again, under oath, claiming a letter from a woman turned his conscience and made him come forth (he’d been on the run from subpoenas), and that he’d implored his NBC producers to makehim lose so he could get out of it, as if he couldn’t himself simply answer a couple of questions wrong and be done. Yet Rep. Oren Harris, the committee chairman (an Arkansas Democrat) flattered him with compliments, letting Van Doren’s telegenic candor deceive again. The crowd in the hearing room applauded him, a poll showed that three of four Americans would have done exactly what he’d done–cheat–and Columbia University students–where Van Doren was an assistant professor of English–before the generation of protesters (the kind of students more interested in panty raids than sit-ins) protested his ouster by the university. Only one House member, Steven Derounian, a Republican from New York (and an Armenian descendant) saw straight: “I don’t think an adult of your intelligence ought to be commended for telling the truth,” he told him. The Times ran Van Doren’s full testimony–on page 22. It would have been too cute to run it on page 21,  devoted to another story about many other contestants telling lies. Van Doren went on to write books, write for the Encyclopedia Britannica, co-author a book with Mortimer Adler, the philosopher, and wrote some articles for the New Yorker. He died at 93 in a retirement home in Connecticut. Herb Stempel, the City College of New York student who’d won $49,500 before Van Doren beat him–before he was ordered to lose to Van Doren–died in 2020 at 93. The question remained: why did NBC, much more the culprit, evade punishment? As Stempel says in the video below, “why should I give the money back to the person who committed the hoax?” The hoaxter being NBC, whose news division would continue to inform us, and inform American duplicity, to this day. 

—P.T.

“I think that when we believe something is baseless, which is a real word, it’s not an opinion. It is a word in the dictionary, and it means without any foundation in truth. I think if that word can be used very clearly and in this case accurately, I think that’s journalism. And I think in fact to do the opposite would not be journalism. It would somehow be using language as a guard instead of using language to do what it’s supposed to do, which is to tell the truth.”

—Dan Baquet in an NPR Interview, cited by Linda Greenhouse in Just a Journalist (2017).

    She said sarcastically: trump’s ICE gestapo tactics bring out the best in everyone:

    In Raleigh, North Carolina, Carl Thomas Bennett was arrested for allegedly impersonating an ICE officer and sexual assaulting a woman at a Motel 6 threatening to deport her if she didn’t comply, according to CNN affiliate WRAL.

    Police reports indicated that Bennett, 37, “threatened to deport the victim if she did not have sex with him,” and “displayed a business card with a badge on it,” according to WRAL.
