Late last week, I heard an atrocious report on NPR about a supposed "tiny" movement amongst biologists. A movement towards support for "intelligent design". A movement, despite its tinyness, apparently being suppressed by tyrannical tenure committees and by impolite peer reviewers.
I knew the subject matter combined with the shallowness of the content and the slant of the coverage would prompt a response from the estimable Dr. Myers at Pharyngula Well, it took a few days, but he has at last published his thoughts on the report, and on the religion reporter who produced it.
Yes, NPR has assigned its religion reporter to cover this supposedly scientific (or so the IDers would have us believe) issue. I suppose that indicates something about what someone behind the scenes at NPR thinks of "intelligent design."
