Thoughts on a NYT article:

"When President Bush plunged into the debate over the teaching of evolution this month, saying, "both sides ought to be properly taught," he seemed to be reading from the playbook of the Discovery Institute"

Yes, good job. That's how talking points work.

"Pushing a "teach the controversy" approach to evolution, the institute has in many ways transformed the debate into an issue of academic freedom rather than a confrontation between biology and religion."

Well, who let them do that, I wonder? Certainly media organizations bear no responsibility through their constant portrayal of a debate, though nobody practicing actual science has yet found empirical evidence of "design."

Interest groups don't just do this stuff on their own, guys.
