"SNIP...........................



1) Presenting contrarian scientists as "objective" experts while presenting mainstream scientists as self-interested or biased.

2) Denigrating scientific institutions and peer-reviewed journals.

3) Equating peer-reviewed research with a politically liberal opinion.

4) Accusing climate scientists of manipulating data to fund research projects.

5) Characterizing climate science as a religion.

1. Imagine this Fox puts out information and it is not true. Guess I can remove Fox as a source for my

Talking points during a debate"please proceed governor" moment. They are working hard to prove those like,Al Gore wrong, like climbing a tree to tell a lie when the truth sounds better on the ground.

4. I thought it would be useful to put the list of how Faux News and Limbagh actually do it

on the DU. I thought that is worthy new information. Of course we all know Fox lies all the time. I just thought it would be good if we could here one of these talking points we can then say "you are getting that lie from fox news, they are fooling with you". Might be a more effective way at confronting those Republicans who are being fooled.

6. Actually I appreciate the information, I use their information to search for the truth and when a RW

Starts running off at the mouth I have already heard the crap, know where they got their information and the correct story to tell them. I can listen to Shame and Rushbo for about five minutes and get the whole story because they seem to go on and on with the same information for the entire show.

2. Ha ha ha! I read that totally wrong!!! I thought it said

Fox News found to be a major driving force behind global warming

....and I wasn't surprised at all, given all that hot air!

3. There was a video posted awhile back of a woman that had just seen 'Chasing Ice' and was stunned,

scared and angry that Faux, Rush and Glen had lied about climate change. She was sobbing.

This does not surprise me in the least, sadly.

Thanks applegrove!
