At a glance I don't get what's wrong.
If an organization is receiving taxpayer funds..then it had better not be partisan.
OTOH 
If an organization is privately owned and funded they can be as partisan as they want.

The scientific process is as black and white as it gets with no room for partisanship...

Ever get the feeling that we are being fed a load of **** on just about everything there is?

We need more masks....we need more respirators....we need more shots....this doesn't work because Trump mentioned it.....but the people saying it doesn't work are taking it.....It didn't come from China....a man is a woman if he's wearing a dress....little kids cutting up their genitals will save their lives....I voted for it before I voted against it


I could sit here for days adding to that list but I got a standing rib screaming at me....fixing an old fashioned Easter dinner.

True...but I thought the issue here is to make disseminating false info a crime...?
Even if it is harmful information....our government can NEVER BE ALLOWED to become the arbiters of what is OK to believe is true and what is not.    
Have a great Easter my comrade.

Every theory is about self evident time adapting uniquely alive since conceived as individually here for the rotations living conception to dead in a specific ancestral lineage and generation gap since inception of the species native to this atmosphere so far lifetimes are never same reproduction conceived twice each generation added until current events this rotation.

what part of series parallel energy flow does evolving fit? 7 days a week or adapting since displaced as a fertilized cell?
