NY Times Front Fear-Mongers 'Harrowing Future' Without Climate Action

March 3rd, 2022 3:21 PM

Tuesday's front-page New York Times jeremiad on “climate change” was keyed to the latest frightening report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the United Nation’s main climate science organization). "Time Climate Change's Effects Outpacing Ability to Adapt, I.P.C.C. Warns Is Running Out to Fix Climate, Report Says." The online headline even more ominous: “Time Is…

NYT Front-Page 'News': 'Science Speaks (But President Rarely Listens)'

April 29th, 2020 5:49 PM
The New York Times used the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to unleash hostile anti-Trump opinion on its front page Wednesday in a “news analysis” by Lisa Friedman and Brad Plumer that played the tired trope of Trump vs science: “Science Speaks (But President Rarely Listens).” There was an awful lot about "climate change" in this story ostensibly about Trump's response to the coronavirus…

WaPo Claims Black-White Income Gap 'Hasn’t Narrowed in the Last 50 Y

September 1st, 2013 6:33 PM
Among ten charts presented by Brad Plumer at the Washington Post on Wednesday, the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech at the 1963 March on Washington, all meant to show that "the black-white economic gap hasn’t budged in 50 years," is one which purports claims that "The gap in household income between blacks and whites hasn’t narrowed in the last 50 years." Words…

UPDATED: WashPost Pushes Faulty Anti-Gun Study, Fails to Print Blog It

August 6th, 2013 3:00 PM
Well, the Washington Post is back to their usual tricks in distorting the facts about guns and background checks.  On page A2 of today's print edition, staff writer Philip Rucker gave readers a story, which read pretty much like a press release for a left-wing pro-gun control group, calling itself Third Way.  Rucker harped on the misleading “gun show loophole” and how, according to Third Way,…

WashPost Lamely Claims Scott Walker 'Fumbled on Twitter' In Backing Pa

September 26th, 2012 9:04 AM
The Washington Post Sports section on Wednesday turned political with an article headlined "Wisconsin governor fumbles on Twitter: Walker sees collective bargaining in a new light after Packers' loss." Would the Post actually fail to recognize the difference between private-sector unions and public-sector unions, the subject of Walker's reforms? Yes. Strangely, the author wasn't a sports…

Climategate II? 'Science-Settling' Study 'Proving' Global Warming Alle

October 30th, 2011 9:02 AM
CRITICAL UPDATE AT END OF POST A week ago (at BizzyBlog; at NewsBusters), I noted how Charleston Daily Mail blogger Don Surber quickly determined through all of a few minutes of Internet research that Berkeley professor Robert Muller, who convinced Washington Post Plumline blogger Brad Plumer that he was a "climate skeptic," has been a believer in human-caused global warming since the early…

WaPo Punked by Berkeley Warmist Posing as Skeptic

October 23rd, 2011 5:09 PM
Yesterday, in what appears to have been a not particularly sweat-breaking research enterprise, blogger Don Surber at the Charleston Daily Mail demonstrated that the Richard Muller, a Berkley scientist who the Washington Post's Brad Plumer declared to be a "cliimate skeptic," has been a believer in human-caused global warming -- since the 1980s. Muller convinced Plumer that as a result of…
