the science news cycle
From P(iled) H(igher and) D(eeper) Comics comes an instructive comic that's sad but true...
So this comic strip might be a little dated, but it's absolutely true as far as science reporting is concerned. In a business model which favors sensationalism and punditry over real information and detail, it's pretty much a certainty that important points are going to get lost in the rush to make a story out of anything…
By the way, does anyone else find it interesting that on the web, something just two weeks old can already be called dated? Is there some sort of internet time to standard time converter?
