The non-profit, non-partisan Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) has awarded their "Worst 'Science' Journalist of the Year" distinction to the New York Times' Nicholas Kristof for his article about the "danger" of BPA and other plastics chemicals.
"His article about 'cancer in the kitchen' was very one-sided and unscientific," says ACSH's Dr. Elizabeth Whelan. "STATS just verifies what we said last week about that article, which is that it only presented the activist point of view and didn't consider any of the science. This is a well-deserved award."
