Will’s whining … defending the indefensible …

February 26th, 2009 · 10 Comments

According to Zachary Roth, George Will and The Washington Post Writers’ Group are doubling up when it comes to disinformation and truthiness when it comes to Global Warming issues. Roth got an early look at tomorrow’s (late tonight’s) Will column. [Now published.] We thought we were done with the topic of George Will and climate […]

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 […]

Will-ful Deceit: three blunt examples

February 21st, 2009 · 14 Comments

As discussed in WashPost: Complicit in Disformation (or explicit collaboration)?, last Sunday’s George Will column was a disgraceful example of distorted discussion of climate change issues. This deceitful piece and the Washington Post’s seeming backing of it has created an uproar through the blogosphere that is seriously questioning what this sort of shoddy editorial management […]

WashPost Embraces Will-Ful Deceit

February 21st, 2009 · Comments Off on WashPost Embraces Will-Ful Deceit

[NOTE: 5 March 09: For a more up-to-date bibliograpy, see: The Will Affair … struggling to keep up.] The Washington Post editors are, in essence, going silent when it comes to George Will’s use of their pages for disinformation on global warming issues. And, from that silence, the Post’s Ombudsman emerged to embrace the Will-ful […]

Media “Fair and Balanced” extraordinaire

February 19th, 2009 · Comments Off on Media “Fair and Balanced” extraordinaire

Oregonians, represented by some of the better politicians when it comes to energy and climate issues, were served up a rather distasteful stew of “Fair and Balanced” reporting by Scott Learn of The Oregonian the other day. In Dueling global warming studies heat up Oregon’s debate, Learn makes Faux News proud by presented a University […]

Will-ful Deception = No Fact Checking

February 16th, 2009 · 2 Comments

George Will’s Carbon Power Brokers stands in a long-line of examples of The Washington Post giving space to global warming denial disinformation. How bad was this one? Bad enough that one of the cited sources had to step up to respond to Will’s distortion on a holiday. Will wrote As global levels of sea ice […]

Well, not exactly, but birds are heading north for the ‘summer’ of Global Warming. The Audobon Society just released a report, Birds and Climate Change: Ecological Disruption in Motion (pdf), Analysis of four decades of Christmas Bird Count observations reveal that birds seen in North America during the first weeks of winter have moved dramatically […]

WashPost: Energy Efficiency Ignorance and Truthiness

January 25th, 2009 · Comments Off on WashPost: Energy Efficiency Ignorance and Truthiness

Energy is on our minds. Energy alternatives and energy efficiency articles are weekly, if not daily, items in our newspapers. Last week, The Washington Post‘s home section had an amusing, somewhat informative story about a home energy audit in its Thursday Home section. A worthwhile read that will, we can hope, get a few more […]

Denier’s quote: True, but not truthful

December 20th, 2008 · Comments Off on Denier’s quote: True, but not truthful

Links can come in from all over the blogosphere and any/all material one writes on the web are open for quick and easy citation/linkage/quotation. The other day, a prominent Australian climate denier columnist (a good example of a mass media distorter of science who is in the Hall of Shame) chose to quote from a […]

Revisiting Inhofian Deception

December 13th, 2008 · 11 Comments

It must be that time of year again. [DIGG this story.] Just like last year, the Minority on the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Commitee (read James Inhofe (R-Exxon)) has just released another “report” somehow proving that the globe isn’t warming or, if that fails, that humanity has nothing to do with the warming […]
