Do you trust modern scientists on TV/in the media?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[strateguy632]

The tv picks the oddball for sensation not because he was right.

Remember this "official" in u. n.

If we trust him too late.

No justification to bother Bout it.

Or we can learn that news networks pick the ones who are wrong.

Most of them are academics, and talking heads, not "scientists"

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

If they have verified credentials with peer-reviewed research, I don’t see why not but it depends on the subject matter and how it relates to the conversation on screen.

[Asker]

because due to the nature of spreading information on tv/in the media they leave out a ton of information, oversimplify, and make sure theyre aligned with trends more than facts. the perfect example is a christian apologetics "scientist".

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Or Dr. Phil, whose license was revoked decades ago

[Nikki1989]

Sure if the scientist is reputable, has relevant expertise, and is not influenced by bias or conflicts of interest.

They still lie about vaccine safety

What's a modern scientist?

[strateguy632]

The ones connected to politics in contrast to real scientists 50 years ago.

@strateguy632 If that's what you call a modern scientist, then I wouldn't trust them. I don't think science should ever be influenced by politics.
