It's beginning to look like the science writers on FFL have been lying to us, big time.

The Daily Telegraph. Quoting Wikipedia: " In June 2014, The Telegraph was criticised by Private Eye http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Eye for its policy of replacing experienced journalists and news managers with less-experienced staff and Search Engine Optimisers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEO[18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#cite_note-18 On 10 September 2014, the Telegraph Media Group advertised in the Daily Telegraph for a new Head of Interactive Journalism stating candidates should "have demonstrable interest in news and journalism (previous newsroom experience is not needed however)".[19] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#cite_note-19 In July 2014, the Daily Telegraph was further criticised for carrying links on its website to pro-Kremlin articles supplied by a Russian state-funded publication that downplayed any Russian involvement in the downing of the passenger jet Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17.[20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#cite_note-20 These had featured on its website as part of a commercial deal, but were later removed.[21] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#cite_note-21 The paper is paid £900,000 a year to include the supplement Russia Beyond the Headlines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_Beyond_the_Headlines, a publication sponsored by the Rossiyskaya Gazeta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossiyskaya_Gazeta, the Russian government's official newspaper. It is paid a further £750,000 a year for a similar arrangement with the Chinese state in relation to the pro-Beijing China Watch supplement.[22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#cite_note-22 Political stance The Daily Telegraph has been politically conservative in modern times.[23] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#cite_note-slate-23 The personal links between the paper's editors and the leadership of the Conservative Party http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_%28UK%29, along with the paper's generally right wing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics stance and influence over Conservative activists, have resulted in the paper commonly being referred to, especially in Private Eye http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Eye, as the Torygraph.[23] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#cite_note-slate-23 Even when Conservative support was shown to have slumped in the opinion polls and Labour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Party_%28UK%29 became ascendant in them (particularly when leader Tony Blair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Blair rebranded the party as "New Labour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Labour"; on becoming leader after the death of John Smith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Smith_%28Labour_Party_leader%29 in 1994), the newspaper remained loyal to the Conservatives. This loyalty continued after Labour ousted the Conservatives from power by a landslide election result in 1997 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_1997, and in the face of Labour election wins in 2001 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2001 and the third successive Labour election win in 2005 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2005."; In other words, this article is Right Wing Link Bait. It's like getting cell phone voice mail tips from Murcoch;s defunct The News of the World. And while I'm quoting Wikipedia here is a quote from there on Christopher Booker: " Christopher John Penrice Booker (born 7 October 1937) is an English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalist and author. In 1961, he was one of the founders of the magazine Private Eye http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Eye, and has contributed to it since then. He has been a columnist for The Sunday Telegraph http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sunday_Telegraph since 1990.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Booker#cite_note-1 He has taken a stance which runs counter to the scientific consensus on a number of issues, including global warming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming, the link between passive smoking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_smoking and cancer,[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Booker#cite_note-passivesmoking-2 and the dangers posed by asbestos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Booker#cite_note-3 In 2009, he published The Real Global Warming Disaster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Global_Warming_Disaster."; Douche-baggery!
