>> Uncle Carl was one of the best popularizer that science has ever had. And I will grant you that the media had anointed him as the spokesperson for science.

We can argue about who designated him -- I would argue he designated himself.

>> But that doesn't mean the entire science community was happy with that designation, although most appreciated his work in that regard.

The "entire" science community isn't happy with the current GW bullshit, either. But the media is and the result is the Big Lie being perpetrated on not only America, but the world.

The bottom line is the media decides who will get that attention.
