Scorpion...you are an accomplished writer.. i can't imagine it does not curl your toes to read articles that appear to be ground out with little or no research? "veins leading to the brain"..
enemies? no.. but i'd sure like them to play fair.

Everybody takes short cuts. If a supposed "expert" feeds one journalist some phony biased falsehood, it is likely to pass from deadline to deadline, and "writer" to "writer", without a further thought. As long as these 'plausible deniers' exist, and are anxiously feeding the party line to all requests, and even gratuitously pushing it, the poor unsuspecting public will continue to be (intentionally) deceived. The bigger the lie...

I have a real problem with any news article either for or against CCSVI
that doesn't allow for it's readers to voice their opinions. What a biased
article! Makes you wonder if there isn't a hidden agenda behind this.
I think the more CCSVI proves itself out the more miss information
the media will report.

Wow. A witch for expressing her opinion? You guys just keep pushing people away....

Oh wait, I read about CCSVI in the newspaper so it must be true.
There is also a third possibility.
And what's that?
Well, if you're not 'for CCSVI' and your not 'against CCSVI' you're impartial, right? You report both sides of the story. Save the bias for an editorial.
I agree with you L, we need more impartial reporting on this. I don't want to read miracle stories, or skewed science with an agenda, but facts when known or discovered would really be nice. Follow the science to where it leads you.

I just haven't heard many people getting angry about pro-CCSVI articles I guess. I agree that impartial reporting is the ideal, but in a world where fox news is 'fair and balanced' I don't think there's much hope for that.
