From science channels and documentaries to fictional and children's
programming, television brings a myriad of scientific discoveries
and theories into the homes of people around the world. While
television is an important intermediary between society and its
understanding of science, this record argues that the science we
learn on the tube is inaccurate, misleading, and, sometimes, even
dangerous. Dealing with issues such as tobacco consumption, global
warming and Intelligent Design--as well as a host of
pseudoscientific pursuits like UFOs, ghosts, and the
afterlife--this illuminating account examines how producers'
pursuit of ratings and profit trump any desire to provide the
Audience with an accurate knowledge of science.
