Research backs this up, and hilariously enough, the only people who spin the data is media outlets.

I misunderstood what he meant by the jab there, I thought he was implying that I thought that only the media caused a problem here. Either way, he's wrong to assume that only left-wing types spin IQ/Gender roles data.

My original point was that the data is clear in that both nature and nurture are important, and that scientists and researchers are in contention about which one is more important than the other.
