Stemming from an Agenda

New MS treatment using stem cells may produce revolutionary results [More]
Thanks for such in-depth reporting, at CNBC!  What hopeful news! Go, stem cell research!

Of course, a reader would have to go through the Lancet study itself to find out that the promising treatment came from "autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.." You know, "involving one individual as both donor and recipient" and cells "usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood."

In other words, Christopher Reeve sucking out fetuses was not part of the equation.

I don't suppose your "Authorized Journalists" could have mentioned any of that.  After all, you only had an entire story backed by the staff, resources and reach of a multi-billion dollar corporation behind your news dissemination efforts, whereas I have an entire blog post!
