Forbes: Why Is The New York Times Breathlessly Promoting A Kooky Science Book It Panned?.
I know we've delved several times here into the notion of editorial stance, and how publications hide behind the "we're just reporting what was said" and "balance" to foist hogwash off on people. This is a look at how the New York Times ran a review that eviscerated Moises Velasquez-Manoff's book An Epidemic of Absence, and then ran 3 excerpts/editorials by Velasquez-Manoff pushing the thesis.

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
