Los periodistas y las falsas ciencias

Abstract

The professionals of the media have created false mysteries like those of the flying saucers, the Triangle of the Bermudas and the Holy Shroud. Pseudoscience is still encouraged today in the press, radio and television, in some instances with serious detriment for the health of the citizenry and, in the latter case even violating the law. Journalists, who have the objective of providing truthful information, cannot avoid their responsibility and have to take sides when denouncing the cultural fraud and, in some instances, economic fraud that is partof anti-science.
