Moreover, the supposed befuddlement of the staff surrounding West’s claim that Summers is “hanging out with the wrong crowd” is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who took the time to listen to the entire NPR interview. Had the quote been framed correctly, it would have been obvious to the readers of their editorial that the phrase “the wrong crowd” is in no way referring to what this staff calls “…anyone whose political view differs from West?...
