Expect more articles like this that downplay the scale of the NSA.
I can think of arguments for the NSA wanting to overplay its capability and also downplay it.
It's a conspiracy either way!
(Only Goldilocks can be trusted.)
Nah, if he was in disinfo he'd be posting as cold fnord, so no one would notice him.
They tied themselves up in knots with conspiracy theories and bollox like that. Perhaps the answer is to cut out some of that Iodine.
That's what the lizard men want you to think.
The Flynn effect has to do with the effect swash buckling has on women, duh.
Presumably that's where the expression "in like Flynn" comes from.
"Doggie see, doggie do" just doesn't have the same catch as "monkey see, monkey do".
Especially the "doggie do[o]" part...
'R.I.P.D.,' 'After Earth,' 'White House Down,' 'Pacific Rim,' and 'The Lone Ranger.'

to play devils advocate here, medical scince has been wrong before:
It has been right a time or too as well.
The fact that science is sometimes wrong is not evidence that some particular fringe belief is correct. Remember that "They also laughed at Bozo the Clown".
When the people who know what they're talking about are in widespread agreement about some issue, that's generally an indication that what they're saying is the best understanding of the issue available.
But people who are motivated to reject it still will. Cf. evolution, global warming, the shoah (aka holocaust).

J schools are the problem.
Or maybe it's just that the media thrives on controversy, not on informing the public.
A lot of "antivaxxer" dolts trumpet Wakefield in that he's a victim of a hush-up and that he shall be exonerated. A good stick in the eye of these people is that Wakefield himself only sought to discredit MMR so that he could sell his own vaccine
