“Columbia University just told all Americans to shove fluorescent light bulbs up their butt.”
(This is how the Mainstream Media would have reported this story if Trump had announced the study.)
If science doesn’t fit the media narrative, it is ignored.
Remember how Pat Michaels, Virginia State climatologist, was fired when he started to question “hockey stick” anthropogenic global warming models?
And grants are ONLY given for studies that fit the narrative.
