I agree that the world needs rational skeptics -- and yes, perhaps more -- but looks like the peer review process is working properly here. Don't see a need to blame media bias?
- geezerjay 9y agoYou're confounding two entirely different things: media bias and the scientific process. The whole problem is that the media filters data that fit their agenda, even if its half-baked and incomplete. Then, when more info appears, if it contradicts the media's bias then they won't report it. They turn a blind eye to the facts and keep parttong their talking points.
- johnhenry 9y agoI don't believe I'm confounding the two; I'm not saying that media bias isn't a problem. I'm pointing out that there's no reason to assume it is the reason for (possible) misinformation in this particular case.
