I wonder if real kook science gets the treatment that the WSJ gave the Singularity Summit? for example, do conferences of "paranormal scientists" get written up in mocking tones in leading media? Even when "creation science" attracts attention in the mainstream media, it is not in these terms.
Steve Mirsky's Anti-Gravity column in Scientific American has dismissed transhumanism in along with kook science, but I think that the serious media generally does not pay this level of (negative) attention to quackery.
