"... checking and challenging the morals and ethics of those who say they "do" science ..."

Not exactly. The problem is that any uninformed person can claim that he is "doing science" or "being scientific." The less well-informed the person, the more likely he is to be oblivious to his own ineptitude.

"He is also not impressed by the media, generally speaking, and the way the report on science. "
This is not a side-issue. This is one of his major points - that those who are reporting the science are often completely ignorant. Do we conclude that science = religion = ethics = journalism?

"Like all valid religions, his book"
His book is a religion?
