ABC News has announced it will issue a rare mea culpa on Friday's edition of
for a fraudulent on-air report by Stossel on the safety of organic foods.

Likewise with John Stossel, who uses his position on ABC�s 20/20 to push the
latest propaganda from right-wing think tanks under the guise of consumer
reporting. In 2000, media watchdogs and food scientists showed that Stossel
distorted--and possibly fabricated--data in a report on organic foods.

While ABC News did not literally rely on Avery's discredited reference to
the CDC, Stossel nonetheless embraced Avery's charges in every other
particular.

Parents and environmental educators brought their concerns to the
Environmental Working Group because of EWG's research into Stossel's use of
two sets of fabricated test results last year in his discredited report on
organic food. Stossel was forced to apologize on the air for reporting
non-existent test results.

Stossel says of the lynx story, "It makes me wonder what other parts of
their science we don't know the truth about." In fact, the truth about the
control samples has been known for months, yet Stossel still is putting
forward the discredited allegations of "cheating."

To back up the skeptics' claims, Stossel presents some deceptive evidence:
"You may have heard that 1,600 scientists signed a letter warning of
'devastating consequences.' But I bet you hadn't heard that 17,000
scientists signed a petition saying there's 'no convincing evidence' that
greenhouse gases will disrupt the Earth's climate."

The implication is that 10 times as many scientists question global warming.
What Stossel doesn't note is that while the first petition was circulated by
a group well-respected in the scientific community, the second petition has
been famously discredited.

The shenanigans of the most notorious purveyors of "cigarette science" like
Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com - a leading defender of many notorious
products - receive well-deserved scrutiny here. Others, like John Stossel of
ABC News, could have received more.
