There's Bias in political science (http://128.121.104.17/cfs-inform/Reviewcfs/editorial.wessely01.txt)? nah, I don't believe you :p

Man, did you just google "science+bias"? :-)
The Journal of the American Medical Association researches the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. And that's your example of bias in political science. Lol.

I'll admit it was prolly a poor link to offer those without experience of CFS/ME and the disasterous consequences of allowing the likes of Simon wessely to advise government/s, but I couldn't find my old research links.

Guess it's another of those cases where you really gotta know the full story.

Very good, My reply to you (http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=bugger+off+funny+man&btnG=Google+Search&meta=lr%3D&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=) :p

Oddly enough having built web-search tools in my time, I can add sentences to google all by myself :D

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

Yeah, can you believe that?

You do realize that AMA in and of itself is an association with a high political bias, right?

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

Logic and reason in journalism.</i. I think that would be a good idea.

Just to be correct, I don't think Godwin's law applies to this topic. Godwin's law states that any argument will eventually play out to a Nazi/Hitler reference. When the spin artists start the conversations with these references, that's just good, old fashioned yellow journalism.

Point taken. You may disregard the Godwin law being included in the topic :)
