DAVID STROM: Does Reality Matter? Not in the ‘Mattress Girl’ Case, and Not in Cornell 7 Case Either. It’s all pre-election agitprop for lefty women. “What is striking about these cases, as with the case that Theo Jordan refers to (the hoax of residential school mass graves), is the willingness of the cultural elite institutions, and especially the media, to ignore the evidence and stick with a Narrative™ despite the complete lack of evidence to support it.” Truth-seeking isn’t their job, and they don’t see it as their job.
