NPR has always been a liberal institution, but nowadays when you hear the nuggets of wisdom coming from their sandbox, you start looking around for the cat.

In my earlier years I looked forward to listening to NPR, especially All Things Considere (in its early days). One would hear things being examined that would often hit the broader news cycles in a week or so, and the quality of the journalism, although tinged with liberal bias, had good value.

Now all of their coverage is un-self-consciously about the bias, with the story-line filling in around the margins. Sad, sometimes it appears being a liberal means losing your sense of self-awareness.

Re: Scientific Publishing is a joke

It is worse than that. It can be criminal. At the beginning of our Wuhan flu experience, The Lancet published a paper saying that hydroxychloroquine was not effective against Wuhan flu and could be harmful. Because of The Lancet’s prestige, that paper caused hydroxychloroquine studies around the world to be halted. Later, it was found that the paper The Lancet published would not hold up to scrutiny and in an unprecedented move, The Lancet retracted a paper. We now know that hydroxychloroquine is an effective (and inexpensive) treatment for the Wuhan flu. What we don’t know is how many lives could have been saved and how much suffering could have been avoided if that paper had not been published. It’s not clear whether the paper’s author’s motivations were financial or political but either way it was criminal.

re New Scientific Scandal Shaking The Climate Alarm Industry

I doubt this slows the climate change juggernaut even a tiny bit.

They'll simply ignore it and move on.

That the left views any election in which they do not win as undemocratic is not a new observation; it's a tenet of Marxist belief. Marxism is the true will of the people, and if they do not know or disagree with this, it's because they haven't been sufficiently educated by the Party or else have had a false conscience instilled by the power structure de jour, leading the masses to participate in their own subjection.

When they thing they are in the majority, they're all about majoritarianism; when they don't they are all about preserving the rights of the minority. the only consistency is that they are in favor of the structure that grants them the most power.

Science must have morals -- honesty and integrity -- to have any credibility, to be trustworthy. Same is true for any institution, politics, banks etc. A common set of moral values is the foundation of any civilization.

Re; High unemployment benefits; The people who run this government put no value in incentives. Talk to to them about incentives and their eyes glaze over. It has to grow out of the we spend your money better than you spend your money; better for the public good (as they see it). The scary is they see rest of us are just donkeys who don't know any better than to keep pulling the wagon
