Why do the "sceptic" movement spread lies about chiropractors?
Could it have to do with their "expert" on the subject?

Chiropractor Breaks Baby’s Neck – A Risk vs Benefit Analysis
It is unfortunately that individual dramatic cases are often required to garner public and regulatory attention toward a clear problem. The Australian press is reporting:
The real story:
A CHIROPRACTOR has been cleared over claims a baby's neck was broken during a treatment.
An expert report undertaken by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, a federal body set up to replace state-based health regulators, quoted a radiologist who examined the four-month-old baby and found that there was "no evidence of fracture".
Fairfax newspapers reported claims by a Melbourne doctor who had cared for the baby last year that one of her vertebrae had been fractured during a chiropractic treatment for torticollis, which involves an abnormal head position because of a weakness in the spine.
The AHPRA report found that the child had congenital spondylolysis, a malformation of the spine, and the child's father had a similar condition. It concluded that "the treatment reported as provided would not be expected to produce sufficient force to cause a fracture to C1 or C2 vertabra in an infant".
"The loss of head control apparent after treatment could have been the result of unrelated factors," it said.
