Unpublished Letters: Fact Checker’s Partial Facts On Pipeline Employment Implications

December 27th, 2011 · 1 Comment

WarrenS has taken on an admirable resolution: to send a letter to the editor (LTE) (or, well, a major politician) every single day, on the critical issues of climate change and energy. This discusses his approach and here is an amusing ‘template’ to for rapid letter writing.
Now, I have always written letters and even had [...]

Post Watch: An airy (eerie) hole in wind coverage

December 4th, 2011 · No Comments

The Washington Post, for too many decades, has been the ‘home-town’ paper.  With the dead-tree edition at the breakfast table, the gaps and failures in coverage (and skewed editorial section) are too evident.  Thus, many — many — posts re The Post leading to a decision to begin/maintain a “Post Watch” series when frustration (or, [...]

If the Tea Party visited the White House, would America know?

April 15th, 2011 · 3 Comments

Today, 15 representatives of America’s impassioned, engaged, and concerned youth met with the President. How many Americans know that the President met with them?
One of the realities of American politics is that the paid machine of distorting anti-science syndrome suffering haters of a livable economic system works the interpreters, HARD!  When the Tea Party [...]

Note to NYT: McCain is White, Obama is not

August 11th, 2008 · No Comments

The New York Times published a strong editorial, Energy Fictions, that borders on fantasy itself. Reading (and rereading it) makes one wonder whether the NYTimes editorial board simply need new glasses as they seem not to understand some basic facts.
John McCain is White; Barack Obama is not.
McCain is old; Obama is not.
McCain is [...]

Fair and Balanced strikes WashPost Global Warming reporting … again

June 26th, 2008 · Comments Off

Earlier this week, two Washington Post articles demonstrated, yet again, the Post’s editors’ dedication to modeling Post reporting after Faux News when it comes to Global Warming: “Fair and Balanced” over objective and truthful. In what were otherwise quite interesting and even valuable articles to read, the Post inserted material from Global Warming deniers and [...]

Experts say Globe at risk, story page A3 …

November 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Well, yesterday the International Panel on Climate Change released a quite serious report (pdf), stating that global warming is unequivocally occurring, that humanity is a leading factor, and that major action is required (ASAP) or the damage will go from serious to, well, potentially catastrophic. 
So, where is this covered?  For the Washington Post, page A3 Saturday.
Sunday, an excellent [...]

Gore: Media, take note, the world is NOT flat!

November 6th, 2007 · No Comments

“There are still people who believe the world is flat … you don’t go and search out people who believe the world is flat and give them equal time.”
Al Gore was on NBC yesterday and ripped the media for providing a platform for “outliers”, people who merit being taken as seriously as card-carrying members of [...]
