Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?
This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.
Nah, John Stossel was using it back in the '90s to deny climate change. The term "junk science" has always been used as an excuse to ignore reality.
That's EXACTLY what they did, yeah. Just like when they appropriated "fake news" which was originally a term describing their own disinformation.
Which also nicely mirrors the Nazis calling everybody that contradicts them Lügenpresse.
That's not new though, Stalin and Hitler both played the fake news game.
