Ivanhoe Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 https://www.city-journal.org/article/scientific-american-dismisses-scientific-rigor Quote Scientific American, which dates to 1845 and touts itself as “the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States,” recently ran an article arguing that scientists should prioritize “reality” over scientific “rigor.” What would make a publication with a name like this one set empirical evidence at odds with reality? Masks, of course. Naomi Oreskes, a Harvard professor of the history of science, argued that by “prioritizing scientific rigor” in its mask studies, the Cochrane Library may have “misled the public,” such that “the average person could be confused” about the efficacy of masks. Oreskes criticized Cochrane for its “standard . . . methodological procedures,” as Cochrane bases its “findings on randomized controlled trials, often called the ‘gold standard’ of scientific evidence.” Since RCTs haven’t shown that masks work, she writes, “[i]t’s time those standard procedures were changed.”

The victim appears to be a traditional hard left type, but she may have gone too far "off the res" by supporting Israel unconditionally.

Tweet #1 is what she thought, tweet #2 is what she said to try and save her ass; aka lying.

Ssnake Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 To their credit, both Tel Aviv and Sderot on that map are near ... something.

True, at least CNN didn't position them near Norway. That would be confusing. I also like how Israel and Egypt are labeled, but Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon are not.

rmgill Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 12 hours ago, Ivanhoe said: America's public education system at work; CNN/Turner's and thus WarnerBrothers Discovery's leadership is specifically encouraging incompetence and folks to not give a flying crap about any thing. Last year's reviews (2022) were basically, "You came to work. Good job." No bonus or distinction for merit or incompetence. It's part of the DEI crap. So the folks who are in the art department arne't probably even encouraged to look up an atlas or anything. They're artist.
Ivanhoe Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 The sad irony is that American Jews prefer deep blue states and deep blue cities. Not gonna end well.

Murph Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Yes, we are all going to die in 2005 (per Al Gore) from Global Warming. I am waiting for the return of Global Cooling hoax.

All the fear with no need to make up that pesky evidence.
