Barnicle to WaPo, Newsweek Reporters: 'Regular People' Like Us Want Ch
August 20th, 2007 5:56 PM
Looking to sample the political opinions of regular Americans? What better cross-section than the denizens of MSM newsrooms! That seems to be Mike Barnicle's attitude, at least. The former Boston Globe columnist-turned-MSNBC contributor is guest-hosting for Chris Matthews on this afternoon's "Hardball."Chatting with guests Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post and Holly Bailey of Newsweek, talk…
NBC Nightly News Joins Newsweek in Smearing Global Warming 'Deniers
August 16th, 2007 3:10 AM
Only days after Newsweek was embarrassed when its own columnist, Robert Samuelson, excoriated the magazine for a “fundamentally misleading” and “highly contrived” cover story meant to defame the global warming “denial machine,” Wednesday's NBC Nightly News aired an equally distorted story which smeared “deniers,” a term no doubt meant to conjure a similarity to dishonorable Holocaust deniers.…
Newsweek Editor Calls Global Warming Cover Story ‘Fundamentally Misl
August 12th, 2007 1:25 AM
It appears hell hath frozen over, for a Newsweek contributing editor published an article Saturday extraordinarily critical of his magazine's cover story last week about "global-warming deniers" being funded by oil companies in an organized scam to thwart science. In fact, Robert J. Samuelson accurately noted how "self-righteous indignation can undermine good journalism," and that this…
Sci Am Worried Newsweek’s ‘Global Warming Is A Hoax*’ Headline i
August 8th, 2007 4:48 PM
I received an e-mail message from a global warming skeptic yesterday suggesting that Newsweek's disgraceful article about climate change "deniers" could backfire given the facetious headline "Global Warming Is A Hoax*" on the cover. The thinking was that since far more people would see the magazine at the newsstands than would actually buy it and read the article, a much larger number of people…
Are Gore and Newsweek’s Climate Change ‘Deniers’ Accusations Coo
August 8th, 2007 11:11 AM
As NewsBusters reported Sunday, Newsweek's current issue featured a cover story blasting anthropogenic global warming skeptics as "deniers," and pointing fingers at companies like ExxonMobil as participating in a coordinated misinformation campaign akin to the tobacco industry misleading citizens about the dangers of cigarette smoking. Shortly after this new issue hit the stands, Al Gore told a…

August 6th, 2007 10:27 AM
As NewsBusters reported, Newsweek published an absolutely disgraceful cover-story Saturday calling manmade global warming skeptics "deniers" funded by oil companies and other special interests making them as bad as folks who misled people about the dangers of cigarette smoking. In fact, the article was so thoroughly offensive that it has received an angry response from Sen. James Inhofe's (R-…
Newsweek Plays Up ‘Gay Love’ for Hillary With No Labels – Unlike
August 5th, 2007 5:36 PM
Newsweek political reporter Jonathan Darman provided a preview of sorts to the August 9 Democratic debate on the gay Logo cable channel with an article on Democrats seeking votes on the gay left playfully titled "Show ‘Em Whatcha Got: Conscious of their community's financial clout, gay activists want action on equality issues, not just talk." Nowhere in Darman’s story is there a single…
Newsweek Disgrace: ‘Global-Warming Deniers: A Well-Funded Machine
August 5th, 2007 1:43 PM
Manmade global warming alarmism took a disgraceful turn for the worse this weekend when Newsweek published a lengthy cover-story repeatedly calling skeptics "deniers" that are funded by oil companies and other industries with a vested interest in obfuscating the truth.In fact, the piece several times suggested that publishing articles skeptical of man's role in climate change is akin to…
John Edwards Poverty Tour Bombed? Shame, It's a 'Nation's Inability to
July 27th, 2007 6:49 AM
Newsweek’s Jonathan Darman lamented this week that the John Edwards poverty tour/publicity tour didn’t passionately grip America, that it did not immediately become a mythic event, like filthy-rich Bobby Kennedy's poverty tour in 1968. In a dramatic flourish, the young Harvard-educated whipper-snapper blames this tragedy on not-very-compassionate America: "There is something tragic about Edwards'…
