Debunking Morgan Spurlock
I've started a new blog aimed specifically at Morgan Spurlock, he of"Super Size Me" fame, a new book, and a new TV show.
The blog will focus mostly on Spurlock's book, which is full of innuendo, urban legends and Internet hoaxes published as fact, poor sourcing, and accusations against McDonalds and the food industry that are not only outright false, but probably libelous.
The aim is to inject some skepticism into Spurlock's reputation as a serious public voice. Wouldn't hurt to shame Putnam, his publisher, either.
It's time people stopped taking this huckster seriously.
