“We Owe it to the Poor to Exit the Paris Climate Treaty”

Exactly!

It’s patently elitist to say that seniors and others must ruin themselves for home energy, just because some moron politicos and envirowacko’s conned the MSM to gain power by fabricating and criminally perpetuating wholly unconfirmed and groundless views. Shame on them!

“We Owe it to the Poor to Exit the Paris Climate Treaty”

It should be known as “The New World Order Agenda for dissolution of Nations.”

“The MSM” - call it what it really is, wire service journalism - is inherently cynical. I put it to you that “the claim that negativity is objectivity” is a perfect definition of cynicism. And wire service journalism is a cabal of nominally competing journalists who “compete” much like the Yankees and the Red Sox - both of whom are interested in selling the proposition that their baseball games are important. Between the white lines, yes, they compete - but they cooperate in hiring the umpires and so forth. In like manner, journalists compete for attention, but they promote the fatuous conceit that all journalists are objective.

Journalists know that they are negative, in the sense that they obey the rule of “If it bleeds, it leads and also of “Man Bites Dog, not Dog Bites Man.” In a functional society, “Man Bites Dog” happens when people do not cooperate for their mutual benefit. When you cannot trust the stores to provide your needs or your employer to provide your paycheck. This means that journalists are cynical when they claim their own - and each others’ - objectivity.

In that context, it doesn’t take a “con” to “fool” journalists into proclaiming at the top of their lungs that “the sky is falling!!” That is their natural state; anyone who gives them an excuse to say that will get good press. And anyone who tries to calm them down will be criticized and condemned.
