Till then, my time is limited and I don't want to waste it by reading silliness when I can be reading something from real scientists and communicators who take great pains to get things right.

However, I have heard recently that they are also at fault for placing headlines up without the real background - taking the more fantastical side of a paper and running it as a lead, where the reality of the paper is much more subdued. Anyone who can comment further, I welcome your words. I think it was on The Guardian podcast or Skeptically Speaking, or SGU....cant remember exactly.... that the scientist being interviewed warned of the science daily perils. I still like it, I just read it with a stronger filter now. I dont think the HuffPo is worth it for others who already have a digestible source of science news, but it surely will benefit the regular HP readers who swim in woo filled pools of reality (most, not all).
