Shocking Proof As To Why We Can No Longer Trust “Science”
The mainstream media has a problem with a lack of perspective. The only see their own one-sided, leftist, pie-in-the-sky, denial-of-reality view of the world, and this comes through in their “news” (if you can call it that) reporting.
What many people don’t realize is that 90% of the news outlets are owned by a total of six corporations. That’s not a typo: six corporations. And you wonder why you hear the same stupid, mindless, unthinking schlock from them.
Unfortunately, the science “news” outlets have the same problem. University of Montreal researchers found that this consolidation of ownership and viewpoints is happening to science publishing.
The lead author of the study, Professor Vincent Lariviere said,
“Overall, the major publishers control more than half of the market of scientific papers both in the natural and medical sciences and in the social sciences and humanities[…]. “Furthermore, these large commercial publishers have huge sales, with profit margins of nearly 40%. While it is true that publishers have historically played a vital role in the dissemination of scientific knowledge in the print era, it is questionable whether they are still necessary in today’s digital era.”
So, if you wonder why real science about climate change that doesn’t toe the party line, isn’t getting heard, you have your answer. It makes you wonder how much of what we thought was science actually is science anymore.
