"The media brims with hyped headlines about chemicals and food additives, implying that food will harm our children, medicine will make us sick, or our favorite cosmetics are toxic. With headlines making huge leaps from research to ruckus, like “Contaminating Our Bodies With Everyday Products,” a New York Times op-ed that wrongly advises pregnant women to eat organic to avoid “toxic chemicals,” or “Toast and Cancer: The Potentially Scary Link,” a Yahoo Health headline that implies we should run from our breakfasts, chemical catastrophes seem to lurk around every corner.

The mainstream media is not alone in fueling fear fires when it comes to products we use every day. The very peddlers of so-called alternatives to popular foods, medicines and beauty products use words like “dangerous” and “toxic” to describe the contents of our pantries and medicine cabinets.

Famous food activist and blogger Vani Hari, better known as “The Food Babe,” alternative medicine mogul Dr. Joseph Mercola, and celebrity doctor and author Mark Hyman, who has served as a long time Clinton family advisor, have more than quackery (the promotion of non evidence-based health advice) in common. They are all “chemical hypocrites,” promoting or selling products containing one or more ingredients they’ve publicly condemned.

...

But behind the caring facade; of protecting the public from so-called “toxins” lies a “Tricky Trinity,” namely the pair of natural medicine doctors and their blogging buddy, selling nothing more than a good feeling one alternative product at a time, many of which contain the very chemicals they hate. Make no mistake, the trio is slick at convincing readers to swap mainstream products for so-called healthy alternatives. It appears that either these fear mongers are cunningly disingenuous, or they fail miserably at due diligence."

The scam artists that seem to continue to grow in popularity despite being called out. How different is this from what's happening with Trump? How are so many people conned by scumbags like these?

2. The game is use a shred of truth to promote a lot of propaganda

All right wing media does that.. Be right about one thing and tell everyone you are right about everything else, even if you don't really know. Then use it to manipulate the imbeciles who think everything you say is gospel.
