Fake Science: Exposing the Left's Skewed Statistics, Fuzzy Facts, and Dodgy Data

If you listen to any political argument, you're eventually bound to hear something like: "The science is settled on this." Or: "Just look at the statistics!" Or: "There have been studies that say..."

You'd think we were living in the golden age of science and reason. But the truth is far more sinister, says Austin Ruse. We're actually living in the age of the low information voter, easily mislead by all-too-convincing false statistics and studies. In Fake Science, Ruse debunks so-called "facts" used to advance political causes one after the other, revealing how poorly they stand up to actual science.

Austin Ruse is president of the Center for Family & Human Rights (C-Fam), a New York and Washington, D.C.-based research institute in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council. He was a longtime contributor to Breitbart and writes a bi-weekly column for Crisis Magazine.
