While I agree with your premise.........In theory it sounds great and all........ but........Your being presumptuous in what can or can't be ascertained. Its not only what's seen in the media its also what's documented in peer reviewed papers and what has been heard directly from the persons mouth. The skewing of data via withholding certain truths and excentuating others. The body of evidence is there.



Recent Example...........



Ken Krysko along with Robert Reed made some very calculated alarmist statements to National geographic. No lies, but lets be serious.....Krysko was pushing his agenda. As you probably know some people tried to defend Krysko by saying the magazine took his comments and ran with them. Also as you probably know Krysko admitted (likely not thinking it would get out) ... that those comments were EXACTLY what he said. He along with some others wanted to escalate the situation to aid their own self anointed righteous views. I called it before Ken outed himself , I was right about him and Ive been right all along. Unlike the population estimates.. Im not just guessing . When it comes to seperating the wheat from the shaft.....Im good and I know the people Im pointing the finger at are guilty. Another example, you know this one but for those who don`t................



Many people heard via a Government radio interview that I linked to this site, Gordon Rodda going on a full all out scare attack following his extreme maps appearing on the front page of USA Today. This was a one two media blitz not based on any real science to hype, scare and envoke knee jerk reactions from politicians and the public alike......interestingly enough ...............



A few days before via email he said that he didn't know how the paper got those maps and that the media blew everything out of proportion. Rodda LIED to cover his intent and deflect some of the heat he was getting about his preposterous range maps. He did it for his own purposes and it was very sneaky/Dishonest. The game is transparent if you've been around the block a few times.



Don't you find it curious that only the "scientist" are getting repeatedly misquoted and abused by the media?





Has anyone else told a snake story to the media and have had it get blown out of proportion full of misquotes etc ? I haven`t . Almost all the over the top new stories involve some "expert" jumping in with their two cents and making all kinds of wild statements or a complete novice telling their version of the tale and the media reporting it.
