Slashdot Mirror
Bad Science in the Press
An anonymous reader writes " An editorial in The Guardian presents a good run down of what is wrong with science reporting today and tries to point out why this is. From the article: 'Why is science in the media so often pointless, simplistic, boring, or just plain wrong? Like a proper little Darwin, I've been collecting specimens, making careful observations, and now I'm ready to present my theory.'"
Seriously, Slashdot.
Why don't you stop beating around the bush and just state what's on the tip of your tongue. George W. Bush's faith based initiatives, crazy pseudoscience that would make most Russians wince and "Intelligent Design" which draw out the "other" fringe are the bane of your liberal existences.
The very fact that you are showing the same intolerance towards them that they are showing to the precepts and fundaments of your paradigm only serves to show that you need each other.
In short, conservatives are stupid. Liberals think they are smart.
more holier than thou, doom and gloom, america bashing bullshit
Just like how people are so damn stupid about the fact that dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved lives, and that the Japanese were not going to surrender after the first but before the second.

"Qua!?"
The stories they publish are claptrap. They make it interesting, and write so laymen can understand, but fundamentally, what they publish is science fiction.
