#REDIRECT In recent years charges of [[PELICAN SHITbad science]]and [[junk science]] in public policy debates has led to '''false accusations of junk science''' becoming a [[propaganda]] technique in its own. In this case, the [[propaganda technique]] may merely be an attempt to tack "bad science" as a negative [[buzzword]] onto whatever is being attacked. It may be effective because counter-arguments against these claims are long, complex and difficult to understand. Accusations are typically levied by [[think tank]]s and [[public relations]] firms under order from [[tobacco]] companies and businesses that have something to gain by denial of [[global warming]]. Unfortunately, some claims of bad or junk science really are legimate, and sometimes these are mixed with accusations that are completely bogus. * [[JunkScience.com]] - Combines "junk science" accusations with vitriolic anti-liberal diatribes.
