I only watched one episode last night, the one about Stalin mutating DNA of children and sending them in a saucer to US to make it crash and look like UFO. I don't even want to write more... just think of how stupid this sounds?
They cast VERY unreliable so called "scientists" -aka attention/fame seekers with no credentials. One of those is Amy Shira Teitel.
She plagiarized several articles before she got on TV, and sold those articles for money. A site by the name of The Space Review exposed her:
"In addition to the two articles with extensive copying, we also discovered two more examples of Ms. Teitel using source material and text from other authors. Both of those articles also appear on Ars Technica. Although we have not documented them as extensively as the other two cases, they clearly demonstrate a pattern whereby Ms. Teitel uses the work of numerous other space historians without permission or attribution and sells these articles to commercial websites."
You guys can google this yourself, to see the full article.
To which she replied:
"On October 31, we contacted Ms. Teitel asking for a comment. On November 1, she replied:
"Dear Mr. Kennedy,
I've spoken with my editors at Ars Technica; I understand they have pulled the article in question while they consider the matter.
I would like if we could settle this, but you haven't clarified what it is that you want.""
She didn't apologize for her several plagiarisms, she just wanted to "settle" this aka bribe The Space Review. These are just some KNOWN plagiarisms from her, and I bet there are a lot more that we haven't discovered. I cannot respect a network that hosts plagiarists and crooks. Shame on Sci and this stupid show.
