Seemed to me they wanted to defend her mom and write off autism. I have since not taken any time to keep up, but will check out your links. Thanks for your always, well thought, insight.mysamiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639879619008418740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-84148858916991614342007-10-15T04:15:00.000+01:002007-10-15T04:15:00.000+01:00Parents make the same bad decisions regardless of ...Parents make the same bad decisions regardless of whether the misinformation they read about vaccines comes from the official paper or a blog by a reporter identified by the paper.

We could use more of her sweetness and less acrimony.<BR/><BR/>Joe - Awesome analysis. Nice of you to link Orac, but you did a great job of explaining why this was such a poorly written article/blog. I absolutely agree that the Trib has plenty of responsibility on issues that they put their stamp on.<BR/><BR/>Is this the front edge of a movement by major publishers to skirt their journalistic integrity using "it's just a blog" as their excuse?Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10831843534657098189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-19843146446310846632007-10-15T02:17:00.000+01:002007-10-15T02:17:00.000+01:00Two perspectives on one subject are always better ...Two perspectives on one subject are always better than one.<BR/>Best wishesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
