Discovery Stonewalls
You would think the Discovery Institute would have learned its lesson when it refused to respond to Randy Olson's repeated requests for a spokesperson to comment on intelligent design for his "Flock of Dodos" film.
But, just as they never seem unable to learn anything about evolution, they've apparently learned nothing from the public relations disaster that resulted from turning a cold shoulder to Olson's widely distributed film.
Producers of the PBS "Nova" series say they went to great pains to fairly represent the anti-evolution point of view in their program on the Dover intelligent design trial, but Discovery stonewalled their repeated requests for interviews.
Expect soon to read how biased the "Nova" special on intelligent design was on Discovery's blog.
