Great guy and I have already read the book! Conway Hall is one of London's most eccentric venues and well worth a visit, especially for their Sunday Concerts.

@kitchenaut yes I agree, that smugness was completely undue, sorry :D Newspeak in the 21st century is very excellent, I strongly recommend :)
-
I will, but there's no need to be smug.
-
@kitchenaut and when you realise that Flat Earth News is overly superficial and you really want to understand why mainstream media is a very poor source of information for..most things then you could read Newspeak in the 21st Century by David Edwards and David Cromwell :P
-
There's a queue of disabled people outside busting for the loo. I'm sure if they knew it was to spread information on good scientific thinking they'd hold on with good cheer.
-
@perunatic Read the book. He attacks the medical corporations too. You're the idiot he's talking about.
-
@maxinebasset No-one looks pretty being interviewed in a toilet.
-
That's one smart man.
-
This man looks unwell.

All hail Dr Ben. Bad Science is great.
If you want another expose of just how crap the press are with facts, you could do worse than read Flat Earth News by Nick Davies.

I've read Ben's book Bad Science, it is an amazing expose of just how the media constantly lie and mislead everyone about science, and these disgusting hacks never let the truth get in the way of their contrived and totally false scare-stories. I've stopped buying newspapers, which are a waste of trees anyhow. Buy the Bad Science book and boycott the press.
