Global warming and the hypocrisy of the MSM

Mark Tapscott hit the nail on the head with the hypocrisy of the mainstream media over their faux horror at the Fox News chief suggesting his reporters be skeptical about global warming. As Mr. Tapscott, the Washington Examiner's editorial page editor, wrote:

You think the most essential purpose of journalism and the reason the Founders included freedom of the press in the First Amendment was to insure independent reporting about government, politicians, and public policy issues, right?

Well, you must be wrong because Fox News Washington Bureau Chief Bill Sammon is getting a raft of garbage from liberal activists masquerading as journalists at Media Matters, some liberal bloggers and a scattering of real journalists who ought to know better.

Why? Politico’s headline captures the controversy perfectly: “Fox editor urged climate skepticism.”

A journalist being skeptical? Who would ever have thought such a thing could be.

The rage, the indignation, the disgust ... the hypocrisy of the MSM.  Fox News provided a fair and balanced panel -- as usual -- to provide both sides of global warming.

Skepticism? As Mr. Tapscott goes on to say, journalists are paid to BE SKEPTICAL. Imagine that. It's good to see someone stand up and say it.
