Brooks’ writing on sociology has been criticized for being based on stereotypes and presenting false claims as factual. In 2004, Sasha Issenberg, writing for Philadelphia magazine, fact-checked Bobos in Paradise, concluding that many of its comments about middle America were misleading or the exact reverse of the truth. He reported Brooks as insisting that the book was not intended to be factual but to report his impressions of what he believed an area to be like: “He laughed … ‘[The book was] partially tongue-in-cheek’…I went through some of the other instances where he made declarations that appeared insupportable. He accused me of being ‘too pedantic,’ of ‘taking all of this too literally,’ of ‘taking a joke and distorting it.’ ‘That’s totally unethical’, he said.” Brooks later said the article made him feel that “I suck…I can’t remember what I said but my mother told me I was extremely stupid.” In 2015, Salon found that Brooks had got “nearly every detail” wrong about a poll of high-school students.
