Peter Bronson of the Cincinnati Enquirer wrote a Sunday column (HT The Daily Bellwether) that was a withering attack on the blandness, lack of local coverage, and political correctness of chain news. Bronson, at least for the moment, works at The Enquirer, which is owned by mega-chain operator Gannett Co., Inc. Gannett publishes 85 local newspapers and USA Today. Here's Bronson on blandness: I…

As NewsBusters reported, the BBC published an article at its website Tuesday refuting there being a link between recent increases in global temperatures and solar activity.

In the wake of soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore’s failed Live Earth concerts, maybe what the world needs is a little humor to save us from the hysteria being spewed by global warming alarmists.Almost on cue, Australia’s Tim Blair published a marvelous column in the Daily Telegraph Saturday that is guaranteed to give climate change skeptics a few much-needed chuckles.Sadly, I don’t think the alarmists will…

One Man’s Terrorist...On "CNN Newsroom," correspondent Cal Perry asserted that Hamas is fighting for "independence" from Israel.

Here’s something you don’t see every day: a president of a major environmental group sending an e-mail message to a colleague threatening to ruin that person’s career over disagreements regarding anthropogenic global warming.Yet, as published at National Review Online’s “The Corner” on Friday, that’s exactly what happened just days after a Competitive Enterprise Institute senior fellow wrote an…

Given the dismal failure of Al Gore’s Live Earth concerts, now seems hardly the time to be releasing “An Inconvenient Truth, Part II.”Yet, on August 17, Leonardo DiCaprio’s documentary about how man is destroying the planet, “The 11th Hour,” premieres to a society that seems to be losing interest in global warming alarmism.
