It is enormously frustrating to know, as an evolutionary biologist with experience from the trenches of the creationist wars on science, that nobody on Biden’s team nor CNN’s seem to be aware of the Gish Gallop, 30y after Eugenie Scott described it and years of Trump deploying it!
Even more frustrating when I know for a fact that the White House science office has scientists with scicomm expertise and good understanding of such tactics. But it doesn’t look like the campaign talks to them much. Biden really needs a better comms team!
