>>Regarding your point to having many in your company, please be reminded that the same argument is made by Roger Ailes and like you he can also provide URLs not from PBS but from Fox News in support. So there is no difference in your arguments and Roger's. would I be wrong in concluding that you and Roger and even Limbaugh etc. are in same company?<<

Chinu, there is a substantive difference between the folks on say CNN and MSNBC and FOX. Or PBS and FOX. You are talking about two very different populations of people. Scientists generally do not watch FOX, they watch PBS, CNN or MSNBC.

That is sort of important difference. As it pertains to the sophistication of the thinking involved. The facts and reason used.

For example the statistic that only 6% of scientists are Republican and 12% lean Republican. while 80% of scientists lean democratic shows the distinctive difference in populations.

And I would maintain that difference reflects education, sanity and an ability to reason.
