what is a thinktank anyway?
Aug 23, 2008, 14:31
Why is it that such prominence and credibility is given to anyone who calls themselves a thinktank?

Anyone can set themselves up, get some money from the people whose interests you want to serve, and produce a report to show why those interests should be given anything they want.

As far as I can tell, thinktank is another word for political lobbying group, yet they get presented in the media as something more akin to objective scientists.
