Media Bias on Display: Attacking Adult Stem Cell Research—The Sequel

I reported earlier on the mainstream media’s jumping to over blow a story of process mistakes made by Dr. Catherine Verfaillie, with regard to the potential that she derived pluripotent adult stem cells from bone marrow. My point was further verified today when the San Francisco Chronicle carried a New York Times piece reporting on the story—again. That’s two stories about an arcane matter involving procedural mistakes that did not affect Verfallies’ conclusions—which were in mouse studies. Can we spell media bias?
