Talk:Manufactured controversy

Confusing section
I removed the following section from the article because the information is presented in a way that is very confusing to readers. It's not clear which are real controversies and which are examples of manufactured controversies. The entire section needs to be completely overhauled. Cgingold (talk) 02:24, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Examples of controversies that have been labeled manufactured controversies:
 * Prominent examples
 * The health risks of smoking tobacco
 * Depletion of the ozone layer
 * Climate change denial
 * Development of skin cancer from exposure to ultraviolet radiation via sunlight and tanning lamps
 * Denial of Armenian Genocide by the government of Turkey
 * Denial of the Holocaust of the Jews during WWII
 * Vaccination controversies, particularly those alleging a causative relationship between the MMR vaccine or thiomersal in the development of autism spectrum disorders.
 * AIDS denialism
 * The "Teach the Controversy" efforts of intelligent design supporters
 * The carcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium
