PHD Comics on the science news cycle

In my comment on The View From Outside at Greer's blog tonight, I pointed out an issue with science journalism.

PhD Comics portrays part of the problem with popular representation of science, the way universities promote the research of their own scientists, in The Science News Cycle.  Based on that, the academy has no one to blame but themselves.

That reminded me that I have only mentioned PHD Comics once before in PHD Comics on the financial crisis.  It also reminded me that I had another PHD Comic on my Flickr account.  That means it's time that I post it here.

I can't believe I hadn't posted this during the past four years.
