Clo,

The real question is, as articulated by Huntsman, if a party goes on record as being anti-science, do THEY have a place in a modern country?

How Do You Discuss Science When A Party’s Candidate Calls Scientists The Enemy?

by Jon Bershad | 12:17 pm, August 23rd, 2011

Yesterday on Fox News’ The Five, a segment was devoted to discussing whether or not Jon Huntsman’s presidential campaign was already over. The reason: he’d “admitted” to believing in evolution and climate change. This morning, Poynter posted a great essay about how objective journalists can handle stories about Huntsman and Rick Perry.

The problem, the essay finds, is that those stories necessitate reporting that scientists do, in an overwhelming majority, believe in man-made climate change and that makes the journalist appear to be biased against conservatives. 


Wait, what? Since when did reporting a fact of science become political?
