Continuing from the Alberta politics thread...

I'm going to assume most reasonable people don't actually know what an organization like Western Standard actually publishes on as regular basis, but this is an example:

With meticulous research, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — respected for his dedication and impeccable track record of exposing ugly truths — already challenged the media’s glowing spin and sheds light on what he calls Fauci’s “dark agenda.” Kennedy is an attorney, author of numerous books and founder of Children's Health Defense, a non-profit with a Canadian chapter, working to end childhood health epidemics. He is the son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy.

Now, without knowing anything about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.(I'll go with Bob) this summary might make you think he is highly regarded. A Kennedy? Oh,well that is something! An attorney? Author of books? Founded a Children's advocacy group? Sounds like a smart indivdual, he must have valid points! And then you read the rest of this, maybe buy the book, and accept the opinion the WS has presented of Bob.

Except Bob is ####ing crazy.

In June 2005, Kennedy wrote an article in Rolling Stone and Salon called "Deadly Immunity", alleging a government conspiracy to conceal a connection between thimerosal and the epidemic of childhood neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism.[179] The article contained five factual errors, leading Salon to issue corrections.[180] Six years later Salon retracted the article completely.[180] According to Salon, the retraction was motivated by accumulating evidence of alleged errors and scientific fraud underlying the vaccine-autism claim.[181] A corrected version of the original article can still be found on the Rolling Stone website.[179]

In May 2013, Kennedy delivered the keynote address at the anti-vaccination[182] AutismOne / Generation Rescue conference.[183][184]

In 2014, Kennedy's book, Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak: The Evidence Supporting the Immediate Removal of Mercury—a Known Neurotoxin—from Vaccines, was published. While methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin, ethylmercury, as used in vaccine preservatives, is safer.[185] The preface to the book is written by Mark Hyman, a proponent of the alternative medical treatment called functional medicine.[186] Kennedy has published many articles on the inclusion of the mercury-based preservative thimerosal in vaccines.[187][188][189][190]

In April 2015, Kennedy participated in a Speakers' Forum to promote the film Trace Amounts, which promotes the link between autism and mercury in vaccinations. At a film screening, Kennedy described the autism epidemic as a "holocaust".[191]

And that's just one small piece I extracted of his crazyness.

His Children's group?

Founded under the name World Mercury Project in 2011, it is chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.[7][8] The group has been campaigning against various public health programs, such as vaccination and fluoridation of drinking water.[9] The group has been contributing to vaccine hesitancy in the United States, encouraging citizens and legislators to support anti-vaccine regulations and legislation.[10][11][12] Arguments against vaccination are contradicted by overwhelming scientific consensus about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.[13][14][15][16]

The chemicals and radiation that Children's Health Defense has blamed and campaigned against include vaccines, pesticides, fluoridation of drinking water, paracetamol (acetaminophen), aluminum, wireless communications, and others.

So WS presents this as if they are an actual news organization, not only ignoring his anti-science past, and present him as a source for reliable information.
