Merchants of Doubt
96 min.
Meet the pundits that charade as "professionals" in their field in order to discredit the science and facts that may be backing the opposite side of an issue. This includes everything from the tobacco industry's claims that smoking doesn't cause cancer to climate change denial. These people are also well paid, as they help further corporate interests and deregulation by deceiving the public at large.
