Tyson is incredibly intelligent. If you read any of his books or listened to any of his public interviews it is apparent that he is among the elite in his field. He labels himself as an educator and I personally think he's doing a great job in creating awareness in the fields of science.
Breitbart .com isn't exactly known for it's groundbreaking articles or even being a reliable news source.

Despite all his media success, Tyson insists that racism is responsible for his academic failures, alluding to sinister “forces” that keep women and ethnic minorities down.
Too bad they cannot include Bill Nye on the list, as he does not have actually a degree in science. He fills the 'stupid' category well though.

Neil also raped science and counts suicides as murders in order to push his personal agenda of gun control. That made me lose all respect for him.

Presentation counts, Tyson's comment is much more articulate than Smiths. Form trumps substance one the internet.

How is this news? It looks like somebody copy-pasted a hate filled rant and put it on a website hoping that because it's on the internet, readers will overlook the awful speech and join the angry mob against anything liberal or liberal media.

Its just pointing out that he is a corporate shill
And he hates philosophy

This isn't news. It's just a silly hit piece about a popular promoter for science education.
Hint: That's why liberals like him. He promotes science and humanism, and Carl Sagan was his mentor.
edit: I suck at words.

The mentoring that consisted of a couple of letters? I guess you didn't read the whole article http://gotnews.com/breaking-neil-degrasse-tyson-lying-close-relationship-carl-sagan/

That's interesting if true. Anyway, the guy is a science cheerleader in a society that needs science. I don't really give a fuck about his personal life.

This is an opinion article... it's not news. This is what /v/news has turned into. breitbart.com's bitch. Suppose off to newer places for actual news articles that won't smell of bias.
[–] mamwad 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
I'm fine with opinion articles about actual current events, but this is a non-story. It's a celebrity hit piece.

I remember seeing him at a panel with the likes of Brian Cox and Bill Nye; guy is a total ass when it comes to his peers.
Someone asked Nye a question about Mars colonization in like 50 years, and Tyson jumps in and starts rambling about how it's too costly now and impractical. Like no fucking shit, it's why they asked Nye what he thinks in 50 years.
