Why do you ask? Do you think it's unusual to question something when new evidence comes to light? Seems entirely reasonable to share updated information on a very well known study.
- boomboomsubban 8y agoWhy was the evidence covered up for so long? What changed to have it come to the light? It's reasonable to reevaluate with new information, it's also worth questioning why there's new information
- hellllllllooo 8y agoAgreed, but that wasn't what OP asked. It just seemed like an odd question given the headline explains that the reason this is being discussed is because there is new evidence available.
- boomboomsubban 8y agoNew evidence doesn't answer their question, why is their new evidence coming out to discredit this study now?
- hellllllllooo 8y agoQ. "Why is there a push to discredit this study, seemingly all of a sudden?" A. New evidence is available as stated clearly in the headline.
- boomboomsubban 8y agoLittle more, we're basically disagreeing on what the question asked was. How cynical do you have to be to assume the question asker didn't even read the headline?
- boomboomsubban 8y agoNew evidence is the way the study is suddenly being discredited, it is not an answer to why it is happening.
- lozenge 8y agoThe article explains that. Previously it was hearsay, now raw audio and video evidence is available.
- boomboomsubban 8y agoThat isn't an explanation. It's not like the video and audio evidence was just recently made, why was it withheld and what changed?
- lazyasciiart 8y agoThat "new evidence" came to light in 2017. An entire book has been written and published since then. So why now?
- maym86 8y agoWhy? Why not? Why? Why not?... It's interesting.
- reitanqild 8y agoMaybe because it was successfully silenced the first time? This is huge IMO and I haven't heard about it until now so I think it is good that is being pushed again.

- sarah180 8y agoAre you suggesting some conspiracy? 2018 comes after 2017. This is not a long gap in time for academic research.
