Business Week Careless About Facts in Misrepresentation of Climate Science

January 31st, 2010 · 2 Comments

Poor misunderstood Bob Lutz. How dare Lutz be castigated for stating that “Global warming is a crock of s*%t!” After all, he follow this with “”Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not a climate denier.” This is, in essence, the opening for an atrociously error-filled Business week column by Ed Wallace that piles misrepresentation on top of […]

Somewhere Between Falsehoods and Science, Fred Hiatt finds truth?

December 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Within journalism, there is a real challenge. Are there, truly, two sides to every issue? Should all voices be treated equally? Do journalists have a responsibility to assess statements for truthfulness or is the job simply to be a transcriber and “reporter” of whatever is told to them? How can one be “objective”, be “honest”, […]

Fred Hiatt jumps the shark in dragging Washington Post into the sewers: Publishes Sarah Palin OPED contradicted by links within the OPED

December 8th, 2009 · 15 Comments

As someone weaned on the Watergate-era Washington Post, The Washington Post opinion section has  been abysmal in its ‘faux and balanced’ nature in recent years. And, it is sinking to a new low in its fostering of a ClimateGate era. Post Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt’s utter disdain for truthful discourse has been evidenced not […]

Distorting David Frum weighs in on ClimateGATE/Swifthack

December 7th, 2009 · 5 Comments

Linked from CNN.com’s home page, David Frm weighs in with a disingenuous discussion of ClimateGATE (SwiftHack) with The Distorted Global Warming Debate that is a combination of truthful insight and distorting truthiness. Frum’s argument that the United States (and, well, likely elsewhere) is descending into self-ghettoization intellectually, with people seeking ‘facts’ that support their beliefs […]

Does John Broder know that Media Matters exists?

December 2nd, 2009 · 2 Comments

The head of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, Professor Phil Jones, has stepped aside from his directorship for a temporary period to enable a faster and more comprehensive investigation of the Center’s electronic security and of how he (and others) managed the CRU (and their email correspondence) in the face of determined […]

It came from a blogger …

June 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Yesterday, President Barack Obama had a daytime press conference that is being viewed with outrage by many in the media world. That ‘outrage’ is manufactured and displaying ignorance. Obama presaged the questioning with a statement that included much discussion of the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security (ACES) Act which is going to be up […]

George Will writes, Will-ful Disdain for Facts

May 19th, 2009 · 5 Comments

George Will has a pattern for Will-ful disdain for facts if they get in the way with his ideological agenda. Will’s latest column is filled with disdain directed at Secretary of Transportation Roy Lahood. Very briefly, two examples of factual errors. Will-ful disdain for truth: “Does [LaHood] think 0.01 percent of Americans will ever regularly […]

April 29th, 2009 · 7 Comments

Facing dissent from within The Washington Post, dissent that has gone public in many ways, and with the Post editorial board implicitly having rebuked George Will’s repeated Will-ful deceit in multiple ways, Washington Post opinion page editor Fred Hiatt was pitched a softball question in an online chat enabling him to undo some of the […]

April 24th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Fred Hiatt’s studied journalistic malpractice in his mismanagement of the Washington Post editorial pages when it comes to the energy and climate domain merits a name. Just as the specifics related to George Will’s serial deceptions mounted into The Will Affai, the serial “faux and balanced” nature of WashPost opinion pieces on energy and climate […]

NY Times: ‘He Says, She Says’ … who are we to judge?

April 10th, 2009 · 5 Comments

The New York Times seems to exude, at times, jealousy for the Washington Post for The Will Affair. Why should The Post be singled out, some at the Gray Lady must be thinking think, for shoddy journalistic approaches when it comes to Global Warming issues? Caught throughout his career at serial deception after serial deception, […]
