New Ice Age forget global warming

The NP is in effect the Washington Times transplanted to Toronto. The guys who brought the false story about Iranian Jews being forced to wear badges in public and supported Harper.

I would take their copy with a pallet of salt.


Gore Vidal is still and doing pretty well in LA!

Read the article and, its an opinion piece, but with a number of reputable cites to the claims.

And, as to false newspaper reports:

New York Times Finally Retracts Clinton Story
The New York Times has finally retracted its flagrantly false story about Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY):
An article published on the Web site of The New York Times on Sunday reported on a speech by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in Rogers, Ark. The headline and article said that Mrs. Clinton had criticized Democrats on Saturday for “wasting time” by dealing with issues that helped Republicans turn out voters rather than finding consensus on mainstream subjects. The opening sentence of the article and the headline were based on a misinterpretation of a passage in her speech in which she first referred to the Democrats’ agenda in the Senate and then went on to criticize the actions of the Republican majority in Congress.
She was referring to the Republican-led Congress — not Democrats…

The pre-launch publicity for a new Time-CNN collaboration called ''NewsStand'' made its first piece sound like the daring international scoop of every journalist's dreams. But yesterday, less than a month after CNN and Time jointly charged that America secretly used nerve gas on a mission designed to kill defectors during the Vietnam War, they took it back

The New York Times has just issued a retraction to their piece a few days ago attemting to link Ron Paul to white supremacists. They admit that the piece "should not have been published."

A staff reporter for The New York Times committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud while covering significant news events in recent months, an investigation by Times journalists has found. The widespread fabrication and plagiarism represent a profound betrayal of trust and a low point in the 152-year history of the newspaper.

The reporter, Jayson Blair, 27, misled readers and Times colleagues with dispatches that purported to be from Maryland, Texas and other states, when often he was far away, in New York. He fabricated comments. He concocted scenes. He lifted material from other newspapers and wire services. He selected details from photographs to create the impression he had been somewhere or seen someone, when he had not.

Anything from the NYT I take with 2 pallets of salt. 3 with Scaife publications. 4 with the WSJ editorial voice.

The soi-disant "liberal" press is as guilty of one step less than pure fabrication as is the right. In fact, the press is in a horrid state right now as a rule. Investigative reporting is gone. The budgets can't support it, they tell us. In its place we have increased "celebrity" coverage, softball pieces on Iraq that wered all-but dictated from the DOD and DOS from the NYT and pablum. And that is just in print daily journals! Lord save us from the intertubes, the wireless and the televisors.
Chris Dede of the Harvard Education School treats "new communication and information exchange media" there and has a theory of "informationn overload" where the person is at more of a task to discern the "fact" from the analysis than merely locate the mixture.
