CBS Chides Tom Wolfe’s ‘Very Dangerous’ Attack on Evolution, Liberal Writer

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalist Jeff Glor on Tuesday derided famous author Tom Wolfe for the “very dangerous” ideas in his new book. The writer attacks Darwinism and far-left professor Noam Chomsky in his new work, The Kingdom of Speech. It was clear that the network journalist was enamored with the articulate Wolfe, complimenting the “wry, wicked” intellectual. However, when it came to the subject of the book, Glor critiqued “It is bold, and I think some would say very dangerous, to say that Darwinism and evolution is a myth.” Wolfe simply insisted, “It's no use saying human beings evolved from animals because they are creatures of totally different powers. If you have the power of speech. That's also the power of memory.”
