How We’re Misled About Syria: UK Propaganda and the BBC
Previous posts about misleading Syria coverage – from MSF, Amnesty International, Channel 4 and George Monbiot of the Guardian – used the past tense in their title. However, this one is current.

I’m Really Sorry Redux

“Now the science is in.

Assaulting Science in the Name of Science
There is a battle going on over who and what most credibly represents science. As the months pass, the contest over science is integral to the acrimony concerning the nature of COVID-19.

There is a delicious irony in the Russia Bounty scandal.
