Scienceblogs appears to have a problem keeping and attracting talented writers. According to PZ Myers,  Scienceblogs has "been facing a steady erosion of talent".<ref>http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/</ref>  In 2010, the [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologetic]] website [[True Free Thinker]] wrote a [http://www.conservapedia.com/PZ_Myers#PZ_Myers.27_blog_posts_often_lack_substance quite pointed and accurate criticism of PZ Myers Pharyngula blog] indicating that PZ Myers' blog posts often lack substance. Pharyngula is widely acclaimed in the [[liberal media]] due to its embrace of [[evolution|evolutionary pseudoscience]] which [[liberals]] irrationally embrace (see: [[Evolution, Liberalism, Atheism, and Irrationality]]).  Myers' blog is also listed by the science journal ''Nature'', which also embraces evolutionary [[pseudoscience]], as the best blog by a scientist.  Pharyngula is known for its sarcastic and often specious criticism of [[creation science]] and [[intelligent design]] theory,<ref>http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/pz-myers-emotively-vociferous-intellectually-mute</ref><ref>http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/richard-dawkins-cowardly-clown</ref> as well as regular postings of photos of [[cephalopod|cephalopods]] (often with vulgarly sexual connotations both subtle and blatant).
