Wherein Yahoo Sports tears Ezra Levant a new asshole for being a liar.

Oh, man, this is delicious ... it was way back in December that your humble scribe pointed out that Rebel News' Ezra Levant was wildly misrepresenting a Danish study about the transmissibility of the Omicron variant. None of that is surprising; after all, it is Ezra and Rebel News so you come to expect egregious dishonesty on a daily basis.

What's amusing is that, only two days ago, Yahoo Sports addressed this very misrepresentation and (heh heh) called out Ezra by name for his dishonesty:




Hilariously (and I've archived Ezra's response at the Wayback Machine so you don't need to give him the clicks), Ezra defends his appalling misrepresentation by dismissing it as just a difference in opinion, not a butchering of the facts:


Well, Ezra, it works like this: since you so clearly misrepresented what the Danish study said, there are two possibilities:
  • You're an imbecile who is incapable of reading and understanding a scientific article, or
  • You're a liar.
It's your call, but you need to pick one. So ... choose.

I’m not sure why you view those alternatives as mutually exclusive.
