> and are not speculating on an internet message board for thousands of random people to read. I don't know about the USA, but on TV here (Italy), yes they do. EDIT to avoid sounding too snarky: there are plenty of experts many times on TV, however the public is not aware of the unknowns and the constant challenging of ideas that usually occurs in scientific settings (and so the press). The result is that there are often contradictory statements which confuse the general population (also the press is not helping at all), which considers "science" as "truth".
