[Scientist group?

TimesWatch.org, a project of Media Research Center (MRC), has called the UCS an "unlabeled left-wing activist group".

L. Brent Bozell, founder of the MRC, has claimed that the UCS is "a left-wing activist organization...trying to position itself as being some kind of objective, centrist, moderate, apolitical entity when it is nothing of the sort."

Capital Research Center, a non-profit that studies left-political organizations, criticized the UCS as having "policy positions that are predictably those of a far-left pressure group".

S. Fred Singer, physicist, Professor Emeritus at the University of Virginia, and founder of the Science & Environmental Policy Project, has said that the UCS has "zero credibility as a scientific organization."

Reporter, author, and co-anchor for the television newsmagazine 20/20 John Stossel commented, "The key word in 'Union of Concerned Scientists' isn't 'Scientists' — you don't need any particular degree or experience to join — but 'Concerned,' and the concerns in question are decidedly left wing."

Huh, that's funny - the article doesn't mention any of that.

I.e., every time you hear 'Concerned' in the name of the group being quoted {and you will; they're among the MSM's favorites}, be very concerned you're being played.]
