I really liked John Oliver, but he did a great job with this story...

Very nice story about how what you read about science in the popular press can be completely wrong. (NSFW, language)

I saw that episode. It was spot on!

​Half way through it and it's already so true! Very good so far, thanks for sharing!

Hilarious!!!

Thank you for sharing this, I needed the laugh.

@@VSGAnn2014 I think you'll appreciate this!

@@Babbs ... I know I would -- I just haven't had time to watch it today. Will try to watch it soon. I have it bookmarked.

Thanks, @@OKCPirate .

Wonderful stuff. It's been a long time since my blood began to run cold from the opening words, "Research shows..."

What he says about press releases being butchered by reporters is true. At one job, I wrote releases that primarily went to newspapers. The subjects weren't scientific, but they often were interpreted in ways that made my eyes cross. That goes for papers in all market sizes.

Damn, that really was good! Thanks, @@OKCPirate .

Truly worth the watch time.

(Actually, it is 82.3482% )

This is hilarous - thanks for the link!

Todd talks.... "coffee cures cancer!" You know iI have been waiting for this great news!

"Todd talks.. because science doesn't need to be an exact science"

I actually like Trevor Noah. Sure he's no Jon Stewart, but I think he's doing a pretty good job.

Jon Stewart for President!

That was funny. I enjoyed it. I watch a lot of Dr. Oz who has a lot of different doctors and "new studies" revealing new things, but I tend to be like the "a la carte" person who picks and chooses what she wants to believe. These days there's info everywhere and is hard to decide who to believe so I have to go with my own logic. I'm pretty skeptical about "new studies".

Perfect for describing all of these scientists studies we have been seeing recently. I love the comparison to the childhood game of telephone where the baby is actually made of chocolate.

I still remember when red M&M's caused cancer.
