All this talk about Israel...

Sadly, the Huff Po has gotten quite fake of late in the realm of alternative medicine.

Quick quiz: What do you call alternative medicine that works?

A: Medicine.

Yup, that's where I got it. Nailed!

[miriamele.livejournal.com]

Excellent taste!

[skittish-derby.livejournal.com]

my thoughts as well.

[yelena-r0ssini.livejournal.com]

Agreed. HuffPo's slide into quackery in its health coverage has made me more suspicious of its coverage site-wide.

[i.livejournal.com]

Agreed, there has been a surplus of complete and utter bullshit on HuffPo recently, and not just in medicine.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, "recently?"

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Yep, and the "gross out" stories too.

[brother-dour.livejournal.com]

And all have a political bias. That is also important to realize.

[peristaltor.livejournal.com]

I think we can all agree that there should be a difference between "political bias" and "outright agenda-driven mission."

[brother-dour.livejournal.com]

The only difference is a matter of degrees.

The difference between whether or not your skin is boiling off is a matter of degrees.

I understand what you're saying but what UI'm saying is I refuse to settle for 'a little bias'. It's either 'zero bias in journalism or GTFO' in my book.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

there's no way to get zero bias.

[brother-dour.livejournal.com]

Sure there is. It's quite simple, actually:

Step 1: Report the facts and only the facts as they are known
Step 2: Keep personal opinions and thoughts to yourself when engaged in #1.

I think what is moire accurate is to say, "there's no way to get zero bias when ratings are involved"

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

theres having a bias and then there is the rejection of facts in favor of whatever pet theory is of non-facts will get the highest ratings.....

i dont mind Foxs bias, I mind their lies
