No respect for the plagiarist physicist, but an easy way to control what media representatives of scientific disciplines get to say publically, is to start out with what amounts to "academic compromat" (scientific fraud, plagiarism, ...).

Did this physicist / media star recently say something controversial?

I mean why did the system let him pass as a physicist, and why did it let him rise the media rank?
