The guy also blamed the Anders Breivik atack on Muslims when it first happened, then tried to stealth edit when news about the attacker came out to make it seem like he wasn't saying it was Muslims, then got called out for the stealth edit and said he had actually wrote that it was an edit but the computer screwed everything up[1]. I was always kind of surprised that this was treated as no big deal. Also worth noting the unsettling fact that it seems almost all mention of this has disappeared from the internet (at least, the easily accessible internet). I was only able to find his refutation of the criticism below (which shares the basic facts of the above, but leaves out other criticisms like edits of the original piece that still weren't treated as such). Sometimes it seems like people have a better time finding bad things a random person said on Twitter a decade ago than acts of malfeasance from a major publication a decade ago. [Edit: Finally found an old blog post laying out the issue well by digging around Twitter and find a tweet from some years ago. Couldn't find it at all through Google, even when limiting the results to the week it happened and looking through every single result Google gave .
