B) Wasn't given a chance to actually read it to see if Hancock's complaints were valid. Instead he took a few out of context quotes that may or may not have been accurate portrayals of what was said in the article and whose validity wasn't even discussed.
Shermer never offered to print a retraction. Why would he print a retraction for something that he hadn't printed?
And no that wasn't why I stopped watching.
Exactly, that has NOTHING to do with the evidence of the claims Hancock and his cohort produced. The fist 1.5 hours isn't the meat of that presentation.
