What really pisses me off is how the media ignores lies perpetrated by warming deniers

[Quixote1818]

but if a scientist makes one tiny little mistake then it's all over the news. See here: http://www.sphere.com/science/article/un-admits-error-in-overstating-himalayan-glacier-melt/19324494?ncid=webmaildl1

Yet when deniers pulled all kinds of crap taking scientists out of context and flat out lying up a storm about what was really said (see video below for just one example) the mainstream media ignores it and often fucking runs with it before checking it out. See Greenman's video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khikoh3sJg8

So the public keeps seeing these articles that make the scientific community look bad but the blatantly, lying sacks of shit paid off by the corporations are completely left alone for the crap they pull which is 100 times worse than any small mistake or one or two quotes taken out of context by scientists. The double standard is stunning and the media needs to hear about it!

2. A fellow DUer named Greenman puts out those excellent video's!

You should check them out. I thought this one was quite interesting because even the skeptic seems to understand stuff is happening due to humans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwnrpwctIh4

6. But if the media reported the lies, it would be perpetuating the perpetrated lies. Plus

that's a HUGH mistake, not a tiny one.

7. Because of two things: Fact checking is expensive and the media...

...is connected with conservative interests.
