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.
