MoveOn.Org reports that top TV reporters have asked presidential candidates 2,679 questions in the last year, of which three were about UFOs, and three were about climate change.
It would be tempting to dismiss this as Fox News vacuousness, but for the non-participation of NBC's Washington Bureau Chief, Tim Russert, who clearly just doesn't care.
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

This, from the same guy who, not 5 days ago, pompously declared, "Global Warming is NOT a Left-Right Issue".

Now, if you can only cram any more postings lifted directly from Moveon.org, Huffington Post, Daily Kos, and any other George Soros-funded left-wing front group, I don't know how? And any conservative who happens to disagree with that, must be an "anarchist", ipso facto?
Yeah, I thought so.
And now, back to our subject ...
... or maybe not. Maybe, once again, you'd like to talk about - well - pretty much anything other than the actual content of the post.
Do you disagree that the U.S. media is ignoring this story?
Do you have evidence to suggest that Moveon is making this stuff up?
Or, more succinctly, do you have a point?
Are you serious?
"Do you have evidence to suggest that Moveon is making this stuff up?"
Uh, you mean besides the fact that we're talking about Moveon.org?
You're joking, right?
