It's worth pointing out that the academic and journalist sites are the most 
reliable sources on the internet.
Furthermore, we academics and journalists not only have access to the same 
Internet as you - we're pretty well trained in how to organize what's there.

We spent our carreers asking the tough questions, and compiling mercilessly 
scrupulated reports.
Your average NeoCon proletariat will spend 20 years using the same wrench to 
spin the same bolt and call it a career.

That's not true.
There's no such thing as "soft science" - it's either science or art.
Liberal science is the same as Conservative science.
