		<description><![CDATA[You might be amused by this piece from the Independent&#8217;s health reporter Jeremy Laurance today. It&#8217;s about what a bad man I am for pointing out when science and health journalists get things wrong. Alongside the lengthy ad hominem &#8211; a matter of taste for you &#8211; there are a number of mistakes and, more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ben Goldacre The Guardian Saturday December 6 2008 Writing this column only really scares me because I wonder whether everything else in the media is as shamelessly, venally, manipulatively, one-sidedly, selectively reported on as the things I know about.
