This is a very interesting site with Steven J. Milloy is

the founder and publisher of

JunkScience.com and

CSRwatch.com ; an investment

adviser to the Free

Enterprise Action Fund ; and a columnist for

FoxNews.com . The site,

JunkScience.com, has received a number of awards, and Popular Science

feels it's one of the Web's top 50 sites.

He debunks what he calls " Junk Science. " His definition

of that is: " ... faulty scientific data and analysis

used to advance special and, often, hidden agendas. The junk science

" mob " includes:

 

 

 

The MEDIA may use junk science

for sensational headlines and programming. Some members of the media use

junk science to advance their and their employers' social and political

agendas.

PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS may use junk

science to bamboozle juries into awarding huge verdicts. Large verdicts

may then be used to extort even greater sums from deep-pocket businesses

fearful of future jury verdicts.

SOCIAL ACTIVISTS, such as the

" food police, " environmental extremists, and gun-control

advocates, may use junk science to achieve social and political

change.

GOVERNMENT REGULATORS may use junk

science to expand their authority and to increase their budgets.

BUSINESSES may use junk science to

bad-mouth competitors' products or to make bogus claims about their own

products.

POLITICIANS may use junk science to

curry favor with special interest groups or to be " politically

correct. "

INDIVIDUAL SCIENTISTS may use junk

science to achieve fame and fortune.

INDIVIDUALS who are ill (real or

imagined) may use junk science to blame others for causing their

illness.

 

 

 

He has an interesting short course on " Junk Science Judo "

which you may want to check out. He also some has some good articles that

relate to some of the issues discussed o this group. It may be a bit

elementary for some, but perhaps not for others.

Just thought the site might be interesting to some,

Lynn

The thing is, I think one needs to evaluate all the available information

if one is truly to be informed - not just that which supports an already

held view or opinion.
