WashPost Ombudsman steps up and steps in it … Plus another Will fabrication …

February 28th, 2009 · 12 Comments

Andrew Alexander, The Washington Post‘s new Ombudsman, has really stepped into it big time with the mounting Will scandal due to his distortions, deceptions, and dishonesties when it comes to Global Warming columns. Alexander sought, it seems, to calm the raging seas by stepping up with a piece that will appear in tomorrow’ Post but […]

NYTimes’ Revkin names some names

February 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments

George Will’s blatantly mendacious OPED this morning, Climate Science in A Tornado, not only insults the entire New York Times by, in essence, with Will calling The NYTimes a den of prostitution, it also lays down a direct challenge to NY Times science writer Andy Revkin to name names from Revkin’s recent “news analysis” complimenting […]

Homage to a hero: Climaticide Johnny Rook

February 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments

The reality of the web: anyone with access to a computer and a web link can become a near universally available resource. In many, even most, cases that click can end up being a waste of ones time. And, sometimes that click can end up eating up a tremendous amount of one’s time due to […]

Will directly lies … again … and again … and again …

February 26th, 2009 · Comments Off on Will directly lies … again … and again … and again …

There are much more enjoyable things to spend one’s time on and one’s blogging efforts than having to fact check George F Will because Fred Hiatt’s Washington Post is clearly unwilling to do so. In tomorrow’s, yet-to-be-published OPED, George Will steps up with blustery outrage that his (dis)honor has been stained. Amid his disingenous truthiness, […]

Revkin wanting attention: Science Reporter’s “Faux and Balanced” deception

February 25th, 2009 · 8 Comments

The New York Times Andy Revkin evidently was feeling a bit jealous of the attention that George Will and John Tierney were receiving for their deceptive disinformation when it comes to Global Warming issues. Other than that its a bit hard to explain his convoluted and, well, deceptive article in today’s New York Times on […]

Obama imagines the future, Jindal offers Katrina and peddles truthiness …

February 24th, 2009 · Comments Off on Obama imagines the future, Jindal offers Katrina and peddles truthiness …

In a powerful speech, President Barack Obama laid out starkly America’s serious problems and, as strongly, provided a vision for the future and the paths to get there. “It all begins with energy …” Holding the unenviable position of following President Obama’s oratory, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal delivered the Republican response. Consider the demonstrated Republican […]

NY Times standing in solidarity with Washington Post

February 24th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Ideological conservatives hold The New York Times and The Washington Post to be beneath contempt, as poster children of their bizaare conceptions of media thease are supposed bastions of liberal bias. When it comes to climate change issues, however, The Washington Post (and, more seriously, Washington Post Writers’ Group) embrace of “fair and balanced” rather […]
