MSM SMITTEN BY NUCLEAR NON-EXPERT
Yesterday I noted the media coverage touting anti-nuclear activist Kevin Kamps as a "nuclear waste specialist" and "nuclear waste expert". Well, the MSM coverage of Kamps Wilderness Society sponsored speaking tour of Australia has since exploded, with The Australian, The Herald Sun, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and many other outlets giving his views space under headlines such as "Don't go nuclear, US expert warns".
This is absurd. As his bios indicate (available here and here) Kamps is at best a well informed layman; he has no stated nuclear credentials whatever. The MSM should not advertise the guy as an "expert"; in doing so the MSM is giving Kamps anti-nuclear views a cachet they clearly do not deserve. Pathetic.
