Scientific Journals’ Bias, Rants, And Partisanship Are Giving Real Science A Drubbing
by Post Editorial Board  Nov 12, 2024

 

Scientific American chief editor Laura Helmuth apologized Friday for her utterly classless Election Night rants against Donald Trump and his voters. It’s a start, but a lot of self-examination needs to follow. [emphasis, links added]

And not just by her.


Her expletive-filled posts were plain embarrassing, e.g., “Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f–k them to the moon and back.”

She’s in her 50s and she’s still obsessed with high school?

Helmuth vented at least three times on Bluesky (one of those X alternatives for libs who can’t bear disagreement), blaring her unprofessional lack of scientific detachment.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
