and lastly but not least scott is a film critic for "the new york times" who has also written literary criticism for "the new york times" book review and other publications, thank you for being here. [applause] >> hello, the topic today is the art of the accused. when we say accused these days we are often referring to artists who have been accused of sexual misconduct and it's a category that seems to be growing larger by the minute unfortunately. just this morning, i was reading the guardian and i saw that the latest writer to be accused of sexual malfeasance and manuscript found by his second wife in which it accuses him and writes in the book, for instance, that he was very unhappy when she had their two sons because she said children interfere with the writer's schedule, how dare you have children, how will i get my writing done and and also pointed out that he had a pet rat named bergis which he kept in his room and when people came over he liked to let the rat out and watch as they screamed and lifted their legs and that she took this as evidence of his sadism generally. the question that i want to ask our panelists is once

one of the best—known critiques of your work from pankaj mishra in the new york review of books had younguage you used i can't repeat but you called him an arrogant, racist son of a... you know what. you said that you would happily slap him if he was in the same room as you. that's right. that's because he referred to a friendship i had with a native canadian guy of several decades and said i was romancing the noble savage, which i regarded as an indefensible statement and if he had been on the right, you would be sure he would have been torn to shreds by the twitter mob. what about some of the values you tell all of us we must try to pursue. humility is one of them, you say you must assume the person you're listening to may know something you don't. yes, you should try to do that on the off chance they can tell you something you don't know. you see that as just an off chance? it was an ironic comment. i'm more convinced i would rather know some things that i don't know, and i do listen to people very, very carefully, just like i'm listening to you very, very carefully and i do do that

i think he's written for us, the new york review of books, new york times book review and is an associate editor of web editor of the point. having gotten that out of the way, i'll talk with you mary. what is your view on the effect that birth of a nation had and what does that tell us about the relationship between art and society in politics? >> thank you ian. birth of a nation was a groundbreaking film and ackley. it introduced all kinds of new cinematic techniques and perspectives. it was the first blockbuster film, 5 million people back in 19 15 when it was released. the president of the country, woodrow wilson screened it at the white house. and as a result of its popularity, it's reawakened an interest in membership in the ku klux klan. and it has been a fraught film ever since if any of you have seen spike lee's new film black klansman, you will see he makes ample reference to the savagery of those images. but what the is also interesting about and i will say birth of a nation was part of a larger outpouring of art that was designed to shift the narrative after the civilwar . so i

where were the editors of "the new york times"? they reviewedhe story and were forced to issue a correction. placed right at the top of the story. the story was rewritten to fix all of these flaws. let's get into this and a couple other media issues with oliver darsey. and amanda carpenter is back with me. amanda, your reaction to this? >> how did this even get published? most people get their news through social media. the two ways you consume that news are the headline and the picture. those were both bad selections by the "times" and without the headline that story quickly falls apart unless you want to talk about the high price of curtains which, fine, go ahead and do but that's not the message conveyed with the headline and the story. yes, "the new york times" fixed it. good on them, but that was long after major publications like "vogue" ran with the story. a democratic congressman from california who started calling for an investigation and is still standing by that because of that story. so there's some real damage done, but thankfully t

. >> guest: "the new york times" just reviewed this novel and the whole column is about me, largely and not at all but the novel, and they did to me just what the new yorker did to glen greenwalds cho is pant you as angry and messianic, and that backs a way to marginalize, if not delegitimize what it is you're writing about and i would just for the record admire glen. so that's standard. and i think that part of the reason that an establishment liberal organization like the new yorker goes after someone like greenwald or someone like me is because we call out the hypocrisy of the liberal class. and you end up not having many friend at all when you're critiqueing the establishment, whether the establishment -- the establishment -- the democratic or the republican establishment, and i am quite fierce on both. so, that inevitably makes you a very lonely, isolated and often reviled figure but that's the price of at least from my spiff, that's the price of trying to be as honest as you can, and in that sense, i went to hard vatter divinity school and luffed in a housing project in rocksberry
