More Homeopathy Silliness

"The fact that [it] was never tested, and goes against all science tells us, does not necessarily mean it is wrong. But it does mean the evidence it works needs to be stronger than the evidence we demand for other things."

"Why should homeopathy not be required to demonstrate that it works to the same standards of real medicine? Why is it that this magic water defies the simple procedures of testing that works with everything else?"

Very nice media analysis of the news pundits role in political discourse.

Kevin Trudeau

Jake Tapper on Nightlight did a nice takedown of informercial marketing scam artist Kevin Trudeau.

The video interview broadcast on Nightlight (1/13/06) from which the transcript was created even more dramatically illustrated how sleazy this guy is.

He impressively spins his out of court settlement and agreeing not to sell any more products to "there was no finding of wrongdoing" and "they had to drop all the charges". He also says with a straight face that "There was not one penny in fines" (technically, his $2 million dollar payment was "consumer redress").

Is it any wonder that he's thinking of running for national political office?

And of course, he's still running the same scams, only instead of selling worthless and dangerous products, he's now selling worthless and dangerous information in his best selling book.

This is a very dangerous and evil man.
