As NewsBusters reported, ABC's "World News" aired a disturbing global warming hit piece on Sunday that disrespectfully attacked an esteemed scientist and emeritus professor, referring to his work as "fraudulent nonsense" that is "going to cost lives, and cause us lost species, and cost major economic damage around the world."

It is amazing what pathetic, completely brain-dead, dutiful sheep the drive-by media is.
From the Global Warmism Hoax, to utter worship of a crooked racist grifter like Obama, to their insane anti-Americanism.
Its mass hysteria psychosis.

It’s Fred Singer. Would help if you say that in the synopsis. Prof Singer may have the clearest thoughts in the world on the subject.

Agreed. Deception and delusion on a massive scale. I suppose something like this occurred in Hitler’s Germany. It is madness.

...""fraudulent nonsense" that is "going to cost lives, and cause us lost species, and cost major economic damage around the world." That's what this global warming nonsense will and is doing, especially in turd world countries where global warming nutcases are preventing the people in those countries from developing their infrastruture. They think that these people can make a living with an inverter, a second hand car battery and a solar panel and sell their "excess" electricity to their mud hut nieghbor so they can charge up their cell phone (as if they can afford one when they can't even afford food and eating utensils).

Nice graphic. But you forgot "Flunked out of law school and divinity school."
How does somebody flunk out of divinity school?

Papa Joe Stalin also flunked out of Divinity school. Actually, was kicked out after stabbing a fellow student’s hand to the table when he reached for Joe’s loaf of bread.

Wow.
But the mainstream news media are fair, accurate, unbiased, and COMPLETELY honest about NOT choosing sides or pushing an issue. Aren’t they?
I mean, that’s what they SAY they teach in J-school. And a liberal/MSM/propagandist/socialist/internationalist (but I repeat myself) would never ever lie. Would they?

I saw that report, or more correctly, that hit piece. But, the professor didn't do a good enough or adequate job of presenting or defending his side. I was expecting the professor to challenge the reporter on the science and on what the reporter actually knew himself. The professor should've challenged the reporter and asked the reporter to schedule a debate between himself and a proponent of global warming. There is nothing better than truth towards winning an argument. And I'm pretty sure that the professor and the real scientists have the better argument. But, the professor didn't represent himself too well. His main argument was that global warming was bunk. Fine, but, we need more.

Re “How does someone flunk out of divinity school?”
Easy - Don’t believe in God.
And if you reverse the spelling of God, you have Dog. So Al Gore is actually a dog-worshipper and a God-denier.
When was the last time you heard someone say “Good God, it’s Al Gore.”
Mostly now it’s, “Looks like Al Gore ate the dog”.
I’m gonna hide my cat and my daughter’s dog. The Goracle might be in town.

I didn't see the piece, but it could be that the good professor tore the reporter a new anus and shredded the laughable mockery that is global warming beyond repair. But, that all ended up on the cutting room floor.
Careful editing is the hallmark of the drive by media.

Maybe this is ABC’s way to say to the carbon traders, “Hey, send some of that upcoming $300 million ad campaign money at us!

Read my post #17 again.
"Bunk" is not enough to refute an entire "religion" or "belief system".

Why is it that these guys from Goebbles to Hitler to Mussolini to Lysenko all looked like they needed to be bitch-slapped? They all look like drama queens. Do you think that Herod looked like that before he was struck down and eaten by worms?

in an era of advertising profit catastrophe, it would seem mana from heavan to expose the ABC hit piece.
It would be a show UP of FNC or MSNBC or even (ugh) CNN.
but they would have to be journalists to expose the journalistic malpractice.
Of course he can sue for defamation since it was published.

I stabbed a waiters hand with my fork one time when he tried to take my plate when it still had food on it.

I wouldn’t allow myself to be interviewed by the drive-by media, for something like this, without my own camera rolling to document what really happened in the interview.

To: chessplayer
Saw the piece - it was pretty disgraceful - the tease was to stay tuned for an upcoming story about a respected scientist who thought global warming was a scam - couldn’t believe ABC would be airing such a story, so I stayed tuned - at least half of the time was given to his critics, who were able to reply to the points he made, while the interview with him was a bunch of disconnected soundbites - typical defective MSM coverage......

“The only thing they will understand is if he files a lawsuit against them.”
The one thing they will understand is their ratings going down down down. Let them know you are boycotting their broadcasts, and then do it.

4. Yours is supposed to be a news program not an opinion journal. ABC quit worrying about that pesky news stuff years ago. I wouldn't even give them the honor of being an opinion journal.
They are a naked propaganda machine.
