Fake news, fake science.....

Who hasn't heard it a million times? "Studies show"---global warming is real and man made. Children in homosexual unions are as normally adjusted as those in normal relationships with a real mom and dad. The stock market is economically efficient. Charter and private schools are much worse than government schools in educating our kids. There are no differences between the races in how successful cultures are. Illegal immigration is not a net drain on the economy. Lots more. Typically, these research results come from universities or "independent" research places. The staff there, typically, are overwhelmingly of liberal sentientalities. At every step of any research project, lots of judgement can enter in to bias the effort. At the idea stage, where hypotheses and theories are used to help decide whether an investigation makes sense. In obtaining funding and research staff. In gathering data, especially using questionnaires. In making adjustments to how research is conducted. You might think that statistical analysis of data would be above board, but even, perhaps especially here, political views can enter in. And, interpretation of results is just that---interpretation. Where to present and publish these bring about further possibilities for bias. All not to mention the biases these researches indoctrinate into their students while teaching, and while being interwiewed by, you guessed it, the alt-left biased media. Finally, who pays the piper still calls the tune. Of course, biases enter into science on all sides of the political spectrum. But only one side predominates in numbers, and has the media in its pockets. Aa.
