Naomi Oreskes - Merchants of Doubt

[Posidon]

I heard this podcast/interview at work today by Naomi Oreskes. You can replace any of the organization that she speaks about in her interview with the ALA, Tobacoo Free Kids, or any other anti-tobacco group. I'm going to try and contact her and get her interested in our situation.

Through extensive archival research, Oreskes and Conway have managed to connect the dots between a large number of seemingly separate anti-science campaigns that have unfolded over the years. It all began with Big tobacco, and the famous internal memo declaring, “Doubt is our Product.”

You can download the link here or get it on itunes. Search for the "Point of Inquiry" podcast, episode labeled "Merchants of Doubt".
