Merchants of Doubt (2014) 1080p BluRay x264 DTS - PANthR.mkv

Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, MERCHANTS OF DOUBT takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver- tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities – yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.

Its all about the art of deception and repeated tactics used to mislead the public about science to the benefit of industry. Sometimes even threatening scientists themselves. All the while they hide their sources of funding and convlicts of interest that might lead a reasonable person to question their motives. The documentary evidence and testimony is compelling and worthy of viewing by persons who wish to be more informed.
