U.S. Pushing Conservative Science

mozumder writes "Does abortion lead to breast cancer? Does condom use lead to increased sexual activity? According to the government, the answer is now inconclusive. The New York Times has a story on how the government is altering low-level scientific conclusions to satisfy conservatives. Will this lead to a mistrust of the government? Or is the government now correct?"

    Seeing as to how Bush stole the election, and DC cannot elect a Congressman or Senator with voting rights, I'm not sure I see your point...

  4. and in Soviet Russia media had a conservative bias by joss · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    I'm curious as to where you get idea that American media has a liberal bias. Oooh, wait, let me guess... it was from certain sections of American media, right ? I guess the more conservative pundits tend to believe that other outlets have a liberal bias. It depends entirely on where you stand, if you believe the media should be more conservative, one complains of liberal bias, if you believe it should be more liberal one complains of conservative bias.

    So, perversely enough, the more one hears of a liberal bias, the more conservative the media must be, and vica versa.

    I don't think there is an objective answer to this, but, could you maybe mention a country with a more conservative media than America ?
