Reverted edit of 212.23.228.18, changed back to last version by Bob Burton
'''Tech Central Station''' is calls itself a web site "where free markets meet technology" and views intersect intersects with a range of affiliated think-tanks including [[International Policy Network]](IPN), the [[Sustainable Development Network]] (SDN), the [[Institute of Economic Affairs]] (IEA) and the [[Scientific Alliance]].
==History==
Started in 2000 by [[James K. Glassman]], TCS is published and funded by Republican lobbying firm [[DCI Group]] and its clients.
During the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, [[Kendra Okonski]] wrote an article for the TechCentralStation web site, stating that "Africans are sacrificed on the altar of trendy green delusions."
Okonski works as co-ordinator for the London-based IPN and as the press contact for the SDN. She formerly worked with the Washington-based [[Competitive Enterprise Institute]] (CEI). [http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2003Q1/gm.html]
[[Paul Georgia]] writes on climate change issues, but gets basic physics wrong, indicating that either Tech Central Station's editors do not know basic science or that they do not review submitted pieces.
TechCentralStation also runs frequent articles attacking the use of low-cost generic medicines, especially in developing countries, falsely seeking to claim that "generic" necessarily means "unsafe", along with other articles boosting the views of the international pharmaceutical industry. This frequently involves fierce criticism of the World Health Organization, NGOs or anyone else who speaks up for public health.
