Here is how modern anti-science propaganda works. Just read edit history of linked wiki page on SourceWatch.
Arthur B. Robinson, head of Oregon Institute is labeled there "an eccentric scientist who has a long history of controversial entanglements with figures on the fringe of accepted research".
One science historian, author of a well-researched and well-reviewed book on Amazon, objects and tries to edit the entry: "he is a thoroughly reputable scientist... he does not have a 'long history' of controversial engagements...".
His words are erased by some Diane Farsetta, who sits on the board of SourceWatch and writes for AlterNet. She has not written a book on the subject. But she has time and she has an agenda.
So the entry is back to personal slander and innuendo. Enjoy the 'facts'.
