CU Alum, did you read the article? I quote:
You’ll have to forgive us plebeians for believing plausible Iranian propaganda about visiting American scholars eager to curry favor and flagellate themselves on bended knee for the pleasure of a millennialist terror master. It’s just that sometimes the actual behavior of Western scholars is indistinguishable from cheap Iranian propaganda. In fact, sometimes it’s worse.
If I were writing this I would have explicitly acknowledged the hoax, but it reads more like an inadvertent omission springing from hack-n-slash editing than something else. After all, there are all the references to a hoax exposed elsewhere, just not the expose itself. Not an agenda problem, but an error.
