The Story the New York Times found was Unfit to Print

Yesterday Rob Crowther recognized that Cornelia Dean and the New York Times are puffing Darwinism in an article about Expelled titled, “Scientists Feel Miscast in Film on Life’s Origin.” This front page New York Times news-article blatantly editorializes that, "[t]here is no credible scientific challenge to the idea that evolution explains the diversity of life on earth." But that isn't the real story here. If Cornelia Dean and the New York Times were to report the real story, they would have instead reported: "There is no credible scientific challenge to the idea that evolution explains the diversity of life on earth that goes unpunished."
