Ultimately, the Fraser Institute deserves much of the credit for its own success in penetrating the Sun.

They create their stuff for the media, not academia...
Too bad so many academics are so egomaniacal that they can't bear to take responsibility for anything published with their input unless it meets the most rigorous standards of completeness, which always means "overlong and dull."
Which of course means, it won't grab the attention of the lazy media or if it does, will be torqued to a degree to make the academic look incompetent.
It's the mainstream media that has to go, though. Die, die, die.
