If someone is repeatedly promoted/celebrated as a paragon of virtue & excellence by the national broadcaster, major publishing houses & elite academia — and if they have clearly therefore made the leap from simply “an academic” to becoming a “public intellectual” — then it’s a perfectly legitimate subject of commentary/media interest if that person’s career turns out to be based on a series of farcical falsehoods. I think it’s disgraceful trying to apportion blame on people who merely commented/reported on the story & interpreted the facts as they saw fit. If there’s any fault for Arday’s horrendously tragic death then it lies with those who had a duty of care & who failed — the employers & sycophants who put him in this egregious position, suspending their disbelief, lowering their standards and dropping somebody who was obviously vulnerable/unwell in way out of their depth so that they could flaunt their progressive credentials to midwits.
