I made it there, but I need the original article, not what he says about it.

Bad science to back up a point, or examples of bad reporting of science?

 

If it's the latter,

You can find some more examples here:

(They aren't all examples of bad science reporting, but "bad science" articles are listed with that tag)

 

If it's the former, they would be listed under antiscience

Almost any anti-global warming popular article wills suffice, e.g.

and my responses to some of the points

You can look up pseudo science topics like Radionics and perpetual motion machines.
