The first lie I see is, "The origin of the New Testament begins with two second-century heretics."
It is more than a little repulsive to say that the origin of the NT is connected with heresy, let alone to say that heresy is at the beginning. Anyone worth taking serious begins by talking about the origins of the books of the new testament. West just wants to highlight disagreement.
It is possible someone else first created a canonical list.
It would appear from the article he was merely citing the first list makers.
