>If I am understanding what you are saying, since MG's career and how he makes money is in a way you disapprove, then both his facts and opinions should be dismissed? Discuss.
It seems like you're not understanding what he's saying.
That fact that he makes money as a paid shill is directly damning to his "facts and opinions" and means they should be dismissed. Sure, part of it could be true, but why waste time checking for the truth amidst spin?
What part of the:
"was trained by the tobacco-funded far-right National Journalism Center, and throughout his career has inserted pro-tobacco, pro-banking industry and pro-PHARMA messages into his books and articles. Gladwell can earn $1 million a year as a paid corporate speaker, sometimes from the very same corporations and industry groups he happens to promote and defend in print."
does not scream "shady practices", "conflict of interest", and "fabrications" to you?
