Not only the first, but as far as I know, it was the only one in the "field". And he did it in through the Anthropology department.
I'd sure like to get a copy of the dissertation. I would think he'd make it available on his web site, since he brags about it so much.
Weiner will not post it on his website because it would expose the fact that he interviewed witchdoctors and reported their "brews."
Weiner also makes a lot of the fact that he lost his bid to be the Dean of Journalism at Berkeley on account of affirmative action. Needless to say, nothing could be further from the truth. He was never considered a serious candidate because he had no qualifications in the field. He claimed his talk radio experience qualified him. He lost out to a white man who had many journalistic accomplishments. He sued the Regents of the University of California but soon dropped the suit because it was utterly frivolous.
If his listeners only knew the real truth about this conman, they would be aghast.
