re: #48 SixDegrees

really its the reverse of the normal tactic.

Instead of saying ‘the scientists are just as corrupt as the corporate hacks!’ He’s saying ‘the corporate hacks aren’t corrupt and I don’t think the scientists are either!’

The truth of the matter is, people funded by industry (whether its tobacco or oil/coal/whatever) are fare more likely to corrupt the science than academic researchers. He’s implying equivalence where there simply is none.
