In a bubble, sure. In reality people still believe the thoroughly scrutinized paper linking vaccines to autism.
Once the news cycle has chewed through the "EPA says climate change is not real" headlines and that's soaked in, it will be regurgitated for years to come. No matter how biased the scrutiny.
- Spivak 9y agoWe don't really care about laypeople in this discussion, that's the domain of journalists who are expected to do their homework. Biased scrutiny is the best kind. Scrutiny needs to occur and I would rather the people doing it sincerely believe that community at large is wrong rather than someone playing devil's advocate. They should make the best possible case against climate change they can.
