I'm guessing that you have no wish to understand or interrogate the evidence? Like most who have a problem supporting a weak argument your attempt to focus on the 'people' is an admission that either you haven't looked at the data or you have looked at the data and you don't like what it says. The data/evidence is all that counts, it doesn't matter if it was collected by Albert Einstein or Father Christmas. The authority of the source of the information, is again, irrelevant as long as the evidence has been collected using accepted scientific method and is available to interrogate. You're right about The National Enquirer vs The Guardian, but you'd be a fool to accept anything either source say without understanding the facts that support their claims.
I view Chopra in the same way as I view Dawkins and others, essentially they are media friendly rent-a-mouths who are wheeled in to spout polarising views. That however doesn't mean that they have nothing important to say or have no valuable experience. Dawkins and Chopra can be eloquent, interesting and insightful, but stick a camera or a microphone in front of them and they tend to default to fundamentalist arse, which I imagine, is exactly why we see so much of them.

"physicists can be wrong but physics is not" / Dr. Laura Patrizii
"data rich and theory poor" / Neil deGrasse Tysonthese debates are so good that they seem scripted, and Neil creates a really engaging chemistry with the panel

Species in the Rhinochimaera family are known as long-nosed chimaeras. Their unusually long snouts (compared to other chimaeras) have sensory nerves that allow the fish to find food. Also, their first dorsal fin contains a mildly venomous spine that is used defensively. They are found in deep, temperate and tropical waters between 200 to 2,000 m in depth, and can grow to be up to 140 cm (4.5 ft) in length.
Chimaeras (also known as ghost sharks and ratfish) are an order of cartilaginous fish most closely related to sharks, but they have been evolutionarily isolated from them for over 400 million years.
hmmm....in MY science, i correlate it back to me...
in this case
The gangleaders are called Chiméres.
*thats science to me, the metaphysical...hmmm this word meta should be super understood here...but when i say melanin is in blood. no one hears me...well no one wants to be the...uuhhh...i get it... "you are only as strong as your weakest link" so...if everything has a weakness whats wrong w/ owning it...why did someone write millions & billions of pages about albinos in caves??? hmmm....

“If a violation of lepton flavour universality were to be confirmed, it would require a new physical process, such as the existence of new fundamental particles or interactions,” says LHCb spokesperson Professor Chris Parkes
Looking towards the future, the LHCb experiment is well placed to clarify the potential existence of new physics effects hinted at in the decays presented today. The LHCb experiment is expected to start collecting new data next year following an upgrade to the detector.

Had to smirk at something I heard elsewhere on BBC recently, with some science personality trying to explain what dark matter is "right now I have hundreds of thousands of dark matter particles streaming through my hand..".
You do?
Says who?
You sure you're not thinking of neutrinos?
