Wrong accusation not corrected

I find it hard to believe that any politician or public servant takes Sinclair Davidson seriously any more (well, maybe public servants never did), when he makes an accusation that they have done something wrong, he is quickly corrected about facts in comments, and then never puts an update in the post to alert readers that, yeah, he wasn't aware of something that negates his original claim.

This is yesterday's example.  

But there remain posts on the blog from years ago that were clear cases of plagiarism by a "guest" poster, and that has never been the subject of an update in the post itself. 

It's a strange way to run a blog if you want to be known as someone careful about facts,  or integrity in publishing plagiarism.

PS:  still waiting for stagflation to arrive, 6 years on, too.

Sinclair is bone lazy and hasn't a clue on politics.

As you say commenter showed his knowledge up yet no mea culpa at all

Years ago he made the accusation that the ALP in government had put Abbott in danger because they leaked his trip to Afghanistan. When a person pointed out that the writer Phil Coorey had said h his information had NOT come from the government ( in other words it had come from this on party) he immediately stopped that person from commenting any further on that topic.

Let us not forget The furore about the NBN not being on the Balance sheet when it was always there.

Apology is word never uttered at Catallaxy

The likes of Davidson and Sloan are increasingly perceived as proponents of an outdated view of economics and social policy. I'll give them credit for the courage of their convictions though in the few occasions of late where I have listened to Sloan she seems to have slightly shifted from her previously ideologies. That's OK, better to recognise our stupidity and adjust. Davidson seems incapable of that.

They've said it all before, why should they provide any input into social policy when we already know what they are going to say? No new ideas, no fresh perspective, the same tired old mantras.

Didn't Davidson ban you from Catallaxy Files for misogyny and harassment of women? That fact cheapens any and all criticism you make of him.

No, and go back to your catallaxy cave of self delusion.
