An Unclear Truth
"Coverage can easily mislead when reporters don't make it sufficiently clear that premature science may well not offer the truth" pg 36, Chapter Two-It Ain't Necessarily So
Right away, I thought of one major issue that has been in the news the past two years: global warming. Some have called it a myth, which it isn't. A better term would be "theory". Global warming is a theory that scientists have come up with based on behaviors in the Earth's tempertature. But nothing has been proven. Further research is needed. However, the newspapers have been treating it as if global warming is the beginning of the end of the world. BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE BECAUSE NOTHING HAS BEEN PROVEN!!! Now, theory is causing panic, due to "premature science", The Day After Tomorrow (a movie based on the THEORIZED results of global warming), and a certain over-hyped documentary (which will remain nameless) made by a certain ex-vice president. Get the facts straight.
Then start panicking.
