I agree with Jon Morey and am furious at the charge of censorship. I think on this medium where censorship is and should be a 4 letter word the charge gets thrown around when somebody gets backed into a corner and has no good argument left. For someone to provide information about motivation or bias is not censorship. In professional journals or in medical presentations the source of funding of studies are usually revealed. I have been at meetings where presenters have listed their relevant stock holdings prior to the lecture. At least in the medical community relatively unbiased reviewers decide what is to be published and agencies review what goes on the market. But when Janet reveals that someone giving the impression that he is a satisfied customer is actually selling the product she and her supporters are accused of censorship. What a crock!
