[Frumious Bandersnatch]

I lost all my respect for them when they ran an article a few years ago on finding an isolated new-stone age culture in the Philipines.

Turns out that it was a hoax that NG bought into hook, line and sinker.  A rudimentary fact check would have shown this.  But they wanted it so much to be true, that they bought the whole schmear.  I never did find out if they printed a retraction or not, but considering everything, I seriously doubt it.

Like the Smithsonian, they have lost their way left.
