Climate denial at Fox for journalistic ethics.

[tolpuddlemartyr]

It's not surprising that Fox put pressure on it's journalists and anchors to give preference to climate "skepticism", but the justification given is hilarious. A leaked internal email reads...

"We should 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...It is not our place as journalists to assert such notions as facts, especially as this debate intensifies."

Principled Fox, fighting the creeping cancer of journalistic bias from within. No wonder they're called "Fair and Balanced". ;D

Wait, so are they supposed to say "Remember, climate change isn't proven, but tomorrow will be 3° warmer!"

[MaybeNever]

They're supposed to say "okay, moneyed conservatives, we're all greased up so stick it right in!"

We should refrain from asserting that magnets don't work by magic without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question...It is not our place as journalists to assert such notions as facts, especially as this debate intensifies.
