More ethics and philosophy lessons from the Associate Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University. No, it's not about transubstantiation or the Last Supper, but how much a foreign money man needs to pay to lunch with Nigel Farage

Someone has died after a relentless press campaign. The very least the public is entitled to is an investigation into the press’ role in these events and an independent body to review complaints against the press in the future. www.hackedoff.org/blog-posts/p...

Harris admitting to sending unsollicited email to Jason Arday (who had asked him to stop) AND lying about the bullying incident in 1996. He claims he was cleared. He was in fact charged with misconduct. Arday was aware of Harris' pattern of behaviour. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/lecture...

Crazy - it started with Cofnas saying "I can't disprove any of this but (for reasons unspecified) it can't be true" and the whole media ran with the assumptions of someone who not only has an axe to grind with Cambridge but also thinks black people can't be senior academics. Horrendous.

Imagine a man driven to kill himself because the British media destroyed his reputation based on lies. And then imagine that, even after his death, that same media carry on tormenting his family with the same soul destroying lies. Incredible, isn’t it. But here we are

Yet TODAY, the Times can publish a piece today, citing the fraudulent marathons that Arday ran "on a broken leg", a claim he never made. It was a hairline fracture *that was reported at the time*. And the headline of the piece? You cannot make this stuff up. 5/

Here's Jason Arday's death - and the media's role in it - trending on social media, again. And yet it's *nowhere* in the mainstream media today. It's "fallen" out of the news cycle in the same way that Russian scientists "fall" out of windows. 🔗

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

The more I look at the Arday story, the worse it gets. Even I fell for the disinformation flood and thought ‘flawed and vulnerable’ (like all of us). But a deeper dive reveals he was extraordinary talented (still vulnerable). And it’s that talent which his haters couldn’t abide

Nathan Cofnas tweet: I was just suspended by Ghent University. They will almost certainly fire me. The decision was made by Rector Petra de Sutter, a former leader of the Green Party.

This worried me from the beginning: was there even anything much, academically, that would stick in the accusations? I fear that once we have a full picture, many of the journalists who led this witch hunt against Arday will have lost interest and moved on Jason Arday is owed a full investigation

I’ve mapped the far-right semantic operation vs. Arday using the 5W1H method and 4 phases: conception, dissemination, amplification & transformation IRL. It makes the production chain visible - and shows why starting the story with Cofnas misses how this was a racist attack from day 1, in 2023.

I have a strong sense that, the more people dig, the more innocent Jason Arday will become. Which just makes his death, and the circumstances leading up to it, more awful

Keeping our state independent of a company with overtly fascist owners overtly supportive of its origin government’s overtly fascist program and a foreign policy making invasion and extortion threats to our allies is not illiberal. It’s conserving of the liberal democratic project.

I don't have easy access to these tools any more but academic work is heavily metricated. For many it's a measure of worth which is why so many run after citations and publish the slightest thought. And the majority of papers have low or zero citations. Arday has a significant level of citations.

Jason Arday's death will/has quickly become about 'the media shouldn't be censored' & 'journalists shouldn't be condemned'. The discussion that should be had is why journalism can't calmy reflect & scrutinise itself. It's about the culture. The water we swim in. The knee-jerk response confirms this.

A professor writes: (Jason Stanley) The problem is that journalists failed to do basic journalism. Not a single reporter seems to have checked’ Jason Arday’s citations. The ‘quantifiable metrics’ of his work. Prof Stanley did: ‘Arday is easily comparable to the leading scholars in the field’
