Chris Mooney’s Pharmaceutical Influence<\/p>

By Jake Crosby<\/p>

He is the drug industry’s newer, trendier go-to guy in the media, replacing the role of Arthur Allen, who took a break to write about tomatoes. An ex-patriot of “Science”Blogs who now blogs for Discover, and contributing editor to Science Progress, Chris Mooney is perhaps Pharma’s newest writer who has taken on the task of spoon-feeding its message to the public.<\/p><\/blockquote>

From there it is smears all the way down. You can read the whole thing here<\/a>. My favorite sentence:<\/p>

Yet despite the previously described mingling with obvious denialists and plagiarists, Chris Mooney is perhaps most notorious in the autism community….<\/p><\/blockquote>

You complete the sentence. But make sure to include the word “Pharma” at least twice….<\/p>

PS: <\/strong>Orac has more<\/a> on Jake Crosby’s endeavors…..written pretty kindly, as I think this particular case deserves.<\/p>
