How many scientists go out of their way to bash Bill Nye as a hack who damaged American science?

• baddox 16y ago
  That's not analogous because Bill Nye, unlike Roger Ebert, has not become the public face of pure excellence in his field.

    I'm under the impression that most people think "film critic" is a guy who writes a paragraph for a newspaper saying whether or not a film is entertaining enough to see, and that was true before Ebert showed up. I don't think White's field has a public face at all.

      I think people who would use the words "film critic" know that Roger Ebert isn't one. Most people would call him a "movie reviewer."
