“... they need to destroy Einstein to degrade white male scientists.
“Their specials have beautiful photography but the eco & global warming messaging poisons everything they touch. People of the Liberal persuasion confuse their personal passion and ideology with science and peer reproducability.
“Facts are made up, data cherry picked and massaged but because the ecowarriors are loud and passionate everyone else should get in line.”
Nice summation.
A week or so ago, I watched a PBS documentary on Leonardo Da Vinci, “The Man Who Saved Science.” I wondered why they were questioning his originality and his genius, until less than fifteen minutes into the program they claimed that the idea for a parachute came from a muslim, and then regularly every fifteen minutes they mentioned muslim inventions. Like clockwork. Not terribly subtle.
... and not just muslims. In their eagerness to denigrate Leonardo, they stooped to things like this:
“This undated notebook by another person is from roughly the same era as Leonardo, and shows a flotation device similar to his sketch of a life preserver. Could Leonardo have seen this? Historians say yes. He had access to many books.”
Didn’t even have the decency to prove that the notebook preceded Leonardo’s sketch, any more than bothering to prove that CO2 rise precedes temperature rise or follows it. Science is no longer being taught or employed — those who use the scientific method have to learn it alone.
By distorting history they are committing a crime against humanity, substituting lies for the truths that allow us to make effective judgements, plans, and choices.
If the news tells only the stories “they” want us to hear and children are taught in school only the “created facts that fit the narrative” how long will we be a free Nation. The whisteblowers are being assassinated or silenced.
But the Trump train is coming down the track and a very outspoken uncowed man is laying some truths upon us. We need to rise up & meet him halfway. PBS & NEA can’t be defunded soon enough for me.
