“THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY IS ALMOST MONOLITHIC AGAINST YOU”
“LUCRATIVE CAREER AS A LIAR”
PENNSYLVANIA — After the initial coverage of Mehmet Oz’s entrance into the Pennsylvania senate race, here’s what they’re (still) saying about the latest candidate in this crowded, flawed and well-funded primary field:
Philadelphia Inquirer, Mehmet Oz has peddled ‘fat burners’ and other pseudoscience. Now he’s running for Senate in Pa.
“But on his popular television program, The Dr. Oz Show, the 61-year-old often offers misleading — or downright untrue — medical advice.”
Politico, ‘The Scientific Community Is Almost Monolithic Against You’: When Dr. Oz Went to the Senate
“For the duration of the hour-long hearing, members of the subcommittee lined up one after the next to grill “America’s Doctor” for statements he made on “The Dr. Oz Show,” his daytime cable program on health and wellness, laying into him for his endorsements of the miraculous powers of green coffee extract and the fat-burning magic of raspberry ketone.”
Daily Beast, Stephen Colbert Exposes Known ‘Liar’ Dr. Oz Ahead of Pennsylvania Senate Run

Business Insider, Dr. Oz — who’s now running for US Senate in Pennsylvania — used his in-law’s address to register to vote in the state last year
“Dr. Mehmet Oz, who announced he’s running for a US Senate seat in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, reportedly used his in-law’s Pennsylvania address to register to vote in the state last year.”
“According to an Associated Press report, ‘[Dr. Oz] began voting in Pennsylvania’s elections this year by absentee ballot, registered to his in-laws’ address in suburban Philadelphia.’”
HuffPost, Dr. Oz Sorta Has An Address In The State Where He’s Running For Senate

Bulwark, Dr. Oz Quacks the Code of Republican Politics
