A question of bad science
SharylAttkisson.com ^ | December 7, 2018 | SHARYL ATTKISSON

Posted on 12/08/2018 10:16:13 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Full Measure is broadcast Sundays to 43 million US households on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Telemundo and CW stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. Replays at FullMeasure.news anytime.

It’s a sad comment on the quality of “science” being conducted by supposedly reputable scientists. 

Our cover story this week looks at promises made to the alcohol industry by researchers at the National Institutes of Health. According to documents, NIH promised positive results in advance of a major study on the benefits of moderate drinking. Once the researchers got caught, the study was cancelled but not before millions of our tax dollars were spent. We look at the internal emails.

We also have a story that looks into allegedly slanted science in the case of Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup.  Lisa Fletcher examines documents that allegedly show the company used “ghostwriters” whereby the company conducted research, then published it under a different name to make it seem independent. Monsanto denies the practice but it has become common in research today.

We never waste your time rehashing stories you’ve already seen all week.

Watch us on TV or replays online anytime, livestream Sundays at 9:30a ET www.fullmeasure.news

“Sharyl has documentation.”

Insane people might think that.

How ANYONE could think Sharyl Attkisson is a crazy leftist is beyond me. I can only guess you have never heard of her.

No.

I looked at the link here. And looked at her Wikipedia.

She seems to gave gone nuts.

She started out as CNN/CBS propagandist.

If the FDA says it’s good or bad, you must believe them even though they are for sale to the highest bidder.

Same thing happens with the “food pyramid.”

UN just said that all alcohol is bad.

But look at those who are on that panel.

I don’t believe anything any government-affiliated entity says.

You can’t go wrong assuming the truth is the opposite of what they say.

That idiotic food pyramid was at odds with what I was taught about nutrition in High School. I always wondered why they couldn’t figure out why people were getting so fat.

Seemed obvious to me- Grandpa always used corn/grains to fatten up the cattle. There were even studies and articles about it back during the depression-curious researchers wondering why poor people weren’t skinny. Then came McGovern’s Committee and the Pyramids-Grain Lobby out did the meat Lobby maybe?

There was actually an episode of The Good Wife about the cheese industry and the food pyramid.

Thanks for the link. BTTT.

I just ignore the matrix dwellers . Gas lighting seems to have become an Olympic sport amongst recent arrivals.

Scientism posing as science has always been a problem. Today it is epidemic.

Alcohol oxidation and resulting aldehyde is well known. Even in moderation, aldehyde has to be cleared for normalized hepatic function.

Matrix dwellers will never understand this.

I think it is considered bad science because the leftists hire bad scientists to cook the experiments/studies.....

Where’s the nuts part.

I’m willing to learn, maybe I don’t know Attkisson like I thought I did. My impression of Sharyl Attkisson is she’s that one in a million journalist with the brains to resist the media cabal.

So let’s hear your explanation. Unless you accidentally posted to the wrong thread, it seems your comment was somewhere between retarded and simian.

The study never happened because it was discovered that the it was going to have a paid-for predetermined conclusion.

That’s not science.
