"So here’s where we are in terms of public discussion about policy today: a tabloid paper can produce a dramatic and scientifically untrue claim, trumpet that claim and have it endorsed by two scientific societies, who know, or at least should know, that it is false, while the rest of the press, along with the government, look on either with approval or in silence."
-- Patrick Basham and John Luik, on how false scientific claims about smoking - and everything else NewAgers insist on - are marketed, in Spiked
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
-- Mark Twain
