Basic Propaganda Techniques Now For Health Care
Yet Another Shrill Health Headline
On January 18th, 2008 That venerable news organization Reuters came out with their shrill and completely mis-leading headline “‘Natural’ supplements caused cancer in 2 men: study”
Obviously something underhanded was afoot. Was it at the behest of Big Pharma?

I Read the News Today Oh Boy
Just a quick comment on a story.
