That's quite a steaming load, largey jargon, for one post. The media makes mistakes, and like the scientific community, it corrects them. That's because both scientists and reporters police each other's work. That's in stark contrast to Republicans who just enable and reinforce President Babyman's hundreds of lies:

And no, both parties are not losers. American voters are willfully stupid.
