Victor Davis Hanson \/\/ The Stanford Daily<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Larson (\u201cHoover has gone too far,\u201d Nov. 19, 2020) cited me among others in his Stanford Daily angry attack on Hoover Institution scholars<\/a>. He alleges that we at Hoover are purportedly \u201cmore interested in making money and promoting right-wing politics than in doing actual academic research.\u201d Larson also charges that \u201cHoover fellows constitute a veritable wall of shame. They have been involved in just about every type of skeezy behavior imaginable.\u201d These are serious writs against our institution and yet mostly leveled without substantiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My colleagues can address these particular loaded charges of \u201cevery type of skeezy behavior imaginable\u201d in their own fashion. But to the degree that these unfounded stereotypes pertain to me, and for the record, I have never<\/em> received any compensation for media appearances. I am not \u201cmaking money\u201d on corporate boards. Nor have I ever worked in \u201cright wing politics\u201d \u2014 or on any campaign of either party. I am a registered independent voter without party affiliation, and the author of over 20 scholarly books on classical, agrarian and military history and culture<\/a>. Scholarship, and its dissemination among the broader public, are the major criteria by which all Hoover senior fellows are annually reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing additional political, cultural and social commentary, or appearing on air to discuss written work, is not spreading\u00a0\u201cdisinformation.\u201d That is a false charge that Larson also lodged by focusing solely on\u00a0one particular\u00a0television interview I did on Fox\u00a0News<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 in part, ironically critical of election coverage on Fox News. But even within such a narrow focus, Larson\u2019s allegations are an unfortunate conglomeration of falsehoods, misrepresentations and half-truths.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
