Science Website Publishes WWF Press Releases Verbatim « NoFrakkingConsensus

How many instances of WWF-generated content are there on ScienceCentric’s website? We’re actually given that number at the bottom of this page: 467. Ten entries are listed per page and there are 47 pages in total. Indeed, it appears likely the count will top 500 before summer arrives.

Attention scientists and science organizations: If you care about the integrity of your profession, if you care about the reputation of science itself, you cannot remain silent. Websites such as ScienceCentric are telling the world that press releases from pressure groups are an example of legitimate science news. You need to declare loudly that this is not the case.
