Tabloid!
UFO’s, Global Warming Skepticism, BigFoot, Creationism, Oxfordianism, The Destruction of Christianity by some Obscure Relic… It’s all of a piece. Welcome to the world of modern media, April.
So be careful consumers. Know that the goal of these so-called “documentaries” is entertainment. They pretend to be “balanced” but they are not. They take minority positions, and positions that cannot be maintained in light of the evidence or have not been vetted by the academic community at large, and make them sound reasonable and authoritative. It is all smoke and mirrors. So beware.
And it ain’t any better on the internet. Our age calls for a renewed commitment to skeptical inquiry.
