Ok on schizophrenia news today we have

https://www.madinamerica.com/2016/09...-and-whitaker/

The article is written by Matt Stevenson

First paragraph cites , the existence of whitepapers.

Ok so this is a scholarly piece?

Now for the arguments , We have
'1 Antipsychotics Are Tranquilizers:' after a very short opening paragraph.

Wow didn't know that, lets see some of the evidence, cant wait

After the next line after that we have this statement:
'Most are*major tranquilizers'

So not 'All' I thought, ok lets see the link, maybe, its a link to the reference.

When I clicked the link this is what I got

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1420867423...SIN=1420867423

A link to a book, and not a reference. So not particularly scholarly.

Until you look at the link, and see that all those tags 'linkCode' 'creative' these are basically, affiliate*link codes.

Which means if someone purchases that book using that link address he provided, SOMEONE GETS PAID, for just providing the link. Its a thank you to a person/person's for promoting the book.

It seems Matt's piece is not that scholarly, but he also want me to buy something, after a very short opening paragraph, for which someone profits from providing the link.

Mad in America a true rag in all senses of the word.

If you've read any of whitakers work it's well referenced but they'll let just about anyone blog, it's mostly opinion pieces and not deeply referenced work. Of course it's hard to reference psych papers when you're against psych.

Well then why give off the impression its a scholarly, referenced, researched piece. He even has references pasted at the end of the article.

Its BS.
