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

Nothing to do with bad science. More leftist drivel.

The word “bad” means essentially the same as “not good.”

Corruption is always a lose-lose proposition.

At this point, we can’t trust anything the science industry tells us, because once a small sector has obviously gone bad, the whole thing is bad.

We’ve known about this problem for years, at least since Michael Mann faked his global warming studies.

It’s a loss for the corrupt insiders too, because now the deep state can’t perpetrate its lies under the guise of “science.”

As opposed to your mindless, factless drivel?

So once again we’re stuck with stupid scientists and stupid deep staters.

You must be looking at a different article, so I will post the entire thing with the relevant passage in red.

Didn’t have time to read the article, but no reputable scientist will “promise” to produce results of any kind.

Which is one of N reasons (where N is a large number) why the climate change crowd is sooooo out of the closet.

You find cooling? No government funds for you. (The climate Nazi.)

Sharyl has documentation.

I suppose actual documentation is too much to ask from you because you’re a special snowflake?

We always need to remember that scientists are people too - with the same selfish drives and temptations that everyone else has. Many are willing to corrupt their findings in order to advance a cause or to advance themselves.
