A documentary that looks at pundits-for-hire who present themselves as scientific authorities as they speak about topics like toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals and climate change

yep, only a few panties-sientists, well placed on the scene, are enough to cast doubt... Minimal science and social science education is necessary imo, even for manual workers ^^

You are, i was joking, you're usually earnest.

I take it Gore is in there somewheres

It's basically the story of how the people behind the, "Smoking isn't bad for you," "SDI will totally work," "CFCs don't affect the ozone layer," "Second hand smoking isn't bad for you," "Acid rain doesn't happen," "DDT is great," and, "Global warming is a myth," are all the same people. Now, obviously, the guys in the 60's who started the smoking is fine campaign aren't still alive, but there's overlap throughout the whole thing. People with PhDs writing OpEds to counter actual scientific articles (and winning).
