 "Despite some scientific critiques of this research, LeVay's findings were frontpage news in a wide range of newspapers and news magazines (Conrad and Markens, 2001). That same year, Michael Bailey and Richard Pillard (1991) reported in the Archives of General Psychiatry that among identical twins, when one brother identified himself as homosexual, in 52 percent of the cases the twin did as well. The concordance was 22 percent for fraternal twins and 11 percent for siblings raised as brothers through adoption."- Peter Conrad, The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Get the book.) |
 "Newspapers and national news magazines fare much worse, ranking below 25 percent. Hey, we're not as dumb as they think!
Additional studies reveal that the more televised news one watches, the less informed one becomes. The owners of networks are multibillion-dollar conglomerates with a vested interest in satisfying their corporate advertisers. They have an active interest in compliant citizen-consumers. As such, important issues and news on the environment, corporate malfeasance, and political shenanigans are given short shrift, purposely skewed, ignored, or outright censored."- David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) |
 "If word got out, it would have made the papers and news magazines. Even the medical records were falsified. It was years later that Mrs. Wilson told her son Ronald the truth—after she was diagnosed with breast cancer again, the disease which took her life.
Eventually the pharmaceutical companies no longer needed Dr. Wilson's services. The nation had been convinced. Financial support came to an end. The Wilson Research Foundation was closed."- Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.) "But the most common birth defect, and the one most remembered by those of us who saw the full-page photographs printed in the news magazines when the danger of thalidomide was finally realized, was phocomelia, in which a baby is born with defective or missing extremities. Some had shortened limbs with hands or feet at the end of short stubs protruding from the body. Others had only toes attached to their hips. Thalidomide was first synthesized in 1953 by the Swiss pharmaceutical company CIBA. They conducted extensive tests, seeking to find a profitable use for their new drug." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.) |
 "The two leading news magazines, Time and Newsweek, had special editions hailing the victory in the war, noting there had been only a few hundred American casualties, without any mention of Iraqi casualties. A New York Times editorial (March 30, 1991) said: "America's victory in the Persian Gulf war . . . provided special vindication for the U.S. Army, which brilliantly exploited its firepower and mobility and in the process erased memories of its grievous difficulties in Vietnam."- Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.) |
 "Just weeks after Parry made those comments, one of America's leading news magazines, U.S. News & World Report ran a dramatic cover story, under the banner headline "Adult ADD."36 Featuring the face of a beautiful young blue-eyed white woman, the magazine cover story offered readers a scoop on the latest from medical science: "Living with Adult ADD. New hope for coping with the distraction and anxiety."- Ray Moynihan and Alan Cassels, Selling Sickness: How the World's Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies Are Turning Us All into Patients (Get the book.) |
