I was mentioned in the Austin Chronicle: Reporter Dylan Baddour treats the debate as serious science, when even a cursory look at the paper (which Pressley insists was “peer-reviewed” — it was not) reflects that the researchers had no way of confirming even the actual source of their “nearly microscopic metallic particles.” For its efforts, Politifact instead confirms the bankruptcy of “true/false” approaches to journalism — the same sort of false equivalence mainstream papers have applied to scientific “debates” over climate change, thereby lending credibility to nonsense, like Pressley’s similarly paranoid theories on smart meters and cordless phones. austinchronicle/daily/news/2014-11-17/news-roundup-pressley-jackson-capmetro-and-more/
