Blame whatever, both parties have brought the matter to attention of the nation and its become an annoying pissing match, which I felt like was about to happen when that second article was posted.
Oh, sorry, the 2nd article was from Think Progress, that's a good point. HOWEVER, bunk science is bunk and I will call out charlatans like the Creation Science Institute every time. There's a difference between a real scientist with an unpopular opinion a fool with a piece of toilet paper from a diploma mill.
