The left has had a fair bit of success with that.

  • Throw out raw data that doesn't coincide with what they want to prove
  • Use logical fallacies to build their cases
  • Personally attack critics and peers who give negative reviews
  • Pay researchers/scientists to do studies that return the results they want (this probably happens far more often than people want to think)

There was a couple of guys on Rogan last year or the year before who were submitting made up research on the goofiest shit they could come up with, to prove how much of peer reviewed science is junk science. Google Peter Boghossian & James Lindsay.

A lot of it got published, as "peer reviewed". No fact checking, it all just had the right keywords and social justice word salads.

Now imagine the pressure to rubber stamp anything in the climate change bubble.

The academic world is NOT happy with these guys.
