The Press

I say it’s by design, and I say the hell with it.

Fools or Knaves? Dept
Roberta watches Today:
...It started out as a fairly straightforward report on the sniping between Albert Gore and Sarah Palin over human-caused warming; she’s skeptical while he, as he has droned on and on and on about, in endless and mind-numbing detail, is convinced right down to his marrow that We Is Killing The Earff... Okayfine, good ol’ he said/she said, with interview clips and file footage, quotes from Twitter and Facebook screencaps.

Then it began to morph; we're told The Sarah “never expressed skepticism about climate change during the campaign,” (not, mind you, AGW) and the story proceeds in that vein; suddenly, the “caused by humans” caveat had dropped out of the narrative, replaced by “ain’t the skeptics ignernt.”

I’m not sure if the reporter or producer even realized it; it seems likely that for them, GW = AGW, no questions asked...
Except that his kind of “confusion” always seems to happen when there’s a progressive agenda to advance or a Democrat to protect. (See coverage- or lack thereof- of The Homeless, medical care for illegal aliens, and Whether Or Not 10% Unemployment Is a Good Thing.)

UPDATE, RELATED 091214 01:18CNN reads “Muslim,” says “innocent.”
