So...peer review, then? I suppose you could rebut comments from muppets if you were feeling a little bored but it's unclear what that would hope to achieve. Could you imagine stopping the industry which talks rubbish about the lunar landings and 9/11 with well written, carefully reasoned replies?

The media reports on findings that haven't been replicated yet, and significantly distort and exaggerate them. Even within science, there are problems like publication bias and political bias.
