Missing from this discussion is any recognition that the author of the op-ed
is one of the film's producers. She obviously has a vested interest in the
film, and she may not be presenting the NSTA position fairly or completely.
The film has been widely criticized for cherry-picking it's facts. While
reasonable people may disagree, it is entirely possible to view the film as
being more of a political or propaganda tract than a scientific treatise.
The fact that Keith Olbermann has weighed in on the issue would seem to give
weight to that point of view.
