Posted Wed Dec 15 2010: from MediaMatters:
FOX boss ordered staff to cast doubt on climate science http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1292441956
In the midst of global climate change talks last December, a top Fox News official sent an email questioning the "veracity of climate change data" and ordering the network's journalists to "refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question." The directive, sent by Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon, was issued less than 15 minutes after Fox correspondent Wendell Goler accurately reported on-air that the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization announced that 2000-2009 was "on track to be the warmest [decade] on record."... A month after Sammon sent his memo, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies released data confirming that 2009 was the second warmest year on record and marked the end of the warmest decade on record.

FOX just wants us all to be happy. As patriotic Americans, we deserve it!
Actually, this was a criminal act. Many people will die in misery because this idiot's directive influenced the opinions of millions of dittoheads who now believe there's doubt, and who voted deniers into power, and thus delayed vital societal action by years, when each minute matters.
