Title: Another boilerplate piece of corporate denialism
Review: More raw meat for the dopes, as the genuflecting huzzahs from the troops above demonstrate.The only good thing about it is it combines in one volume nearly all the salient features of a right-wing corporate handout.It starts off with a lie - that the CMPA is nonpartisan - it's yet another in the stable of Olin/Scaiffe/Bradley funded "think-tanks" used to attack science, regulation, and public health.One chapter uses cherry-picking, all of them use weasel words, and most use debauched and invalid statistics.Meanwhile, it tromps heavily on the themes Thomas Frank mentioned in What's the Matter with Kansas - an appeal to you, the common man right-wing crank who's just as good as any pinko academic scientist any day!Oh. It hasn't aged very well, has it?
