More on the death of journalistic integrity
Here we see a lack of integrity on the part of news.com.au
The headline is "Boffins create zombie dogs". The picture attached to the article is this one :
The article is about a new technique developed to suspend organic bodies by draining the blood and replacing it with an icy cold saline solution. This is a technique which, I predict, in the coming years will be commonplace and will save hundreds of lives.
So why is it that News.com.au seek to demonise the inventing scientists by calling them Boffins? Why do they seek to make us fear science with the irrelevant and misleading picture of a snarling wolf? I really don't see any agenda on the part of News.com.au so I have to assume that this is all just par for the course. Any science article? Make it look crazy and dangerous.
What wonders the human psyche has to share. Paranoia and fear of new knowledge. Like I said to
ironed_orchid, there are too many examples of wrong-thinking around today, we're spoiled for choice.
