There (was) Mike Adams from, what was it, University of North Carolina (somewhere other than Chapel Hill). Criminology prof & thorn in the side to the left. Died after accepting something like a 500k out-of-court settlement in some lawsuit.

There (is) Mike Adams of Natural News. Biochem degree IIRC, then got into meta-politics & such.

There (is) Scott Adams who wrote Dilbert. Got on board the caboose of the Trump train to make money and pretended to lead.

Your first Mike Adams was a conservative political columnist, writer and professor of criminology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Sadly, his death was ruled a suicide.
