https://www.mdifitness.com/0wdi1j45r If I was 20 years younger and participated in a certain body art trend, I might have a tattoo inscribed on my forearm that said something like this: Confirmation bias MT @jayphilips: “The assumptions you start with dictate the conclusions you arrive at.” @james_christie #CAST2014 — Josh Meier (@moshjeier) August 12, 2014 As the Skeptics… https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/74b1gg4e8x Continue Reading…

Reactions to the Kennedy Profile

https://www.varesewedding.com/qrrmpf13w My recent Washington Post magazine piece on Robert Kennedy Jr. has prompted numerous reactions in media outlets, on Twitter, and in the blogosphere. Generally speaking, readers have found the story both compelling and maddening. What folks seem to be divided on is how Kennedy comes off in the story. Laura Helmuth at Slate says I… Cheapest Generic Ambien Online Continue Reading…

The Entrenched GMO Narrative

May 22, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, GMOs, science journalism | 23 comments

Zolpidem Paypal Regular readers of Collide-a-Scape know that I’m interested in popular narratives that shape public discourse. I’m specifically interested in how science and environment-related topics are covered in the media, and how this coverage tends to create dominant narratives. Along these lines, I’ve explored the genesis and amplification of varied media narratives, from Jared Diamond’s collapse… Continue Reading…

Is Journalistic Self-Censorship a Big Problem?

May 19, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, GMOs, science journalism | 9 comments

The London Based SciDevNet, which is “committed to putting science at the heart of global development,” has an interesting post up today entitled, “Is science journalism ignoring censorship?” The questions raised by the author, Nick Ishmael Perkins, are first discussed in the context of traditional censorship issues, such as when governments restrict access to information. This is fairly straightforward. What is… https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/2psq4rrhzc Continue Reading…

It is not unusual for public figures to be unhappy with how they are portrayed in the media. Sometimes their complaints are understandable, other times not so much. What is unusual is for a public figure to take legal action against a journalist. That’s because in the United States there is a very high bar… https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/u5k1aessj Continue Reading…

The Limits to Explanatory Journalism

April 7, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate communication, Journalism, science communication, science journalism, social science | 29 comments

https://www.salernoformazione.com/cs7tbq1lc7 In recent years, as I have paid closer attention to how our individual biases influence the way we think about everything from climate change to gun control, I have periodically been overcome with a sense of futility. I blame Dan Kahan for this. His research at Yale, along with the pioneering work of Nobel Laureate Daniel… Continue Reading…

Judging the Merits of a Media-Hyped 'Collapse' Study

March 21, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in coal, collapse, science journalism | 104 comments

As I discussed in the previous entry, a recent Guardian blog post (structured loosely as a news article) made worldwide headlines. It was trumpeted by the Guardian blogger as an “exclusive”; he was given a copy of a paper soon to be published in the journal Ecological Economics. Because he didn’t provide any context for the… https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/p8nthrsszt2 Continue Reading…

The David Rose Award For GMO Reporting

February 24, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, science journalism | 18 comments

Buy Zolpidem Online Eu The fundamentally flawed and distorted climate reporting by David Rose in the UK’s Daily Mail is often called out by science journalists and bloggers. His repeated misrepresentation of climate scientists has prompted the UK’s Met office to publicly respond on numerous occasions. It’s unfortunate that one reporter continues to flout basic journalistic principles on an… Continue Reading…

Truth Always Wins

https://municion.org/1uyvvhziw The politicized and polarized nature of the climate debate is well established. Those who track the testy, emotionally-charged conversation on agricultural biotechnology wonder if the GMO discourse is heading down that road. I’ve argued that the rhetorical tactics of GMO skeptics and climate skeptics are similar. Others have also come to see these commonalities (cherry-picking… Online Zolpidem Continue Reading…
