My own view is that NO element of the mainstream media is trustworthy these days. That includes all the broadsheets and the BBC.

Obviously, not all you read or hear is untrue. However my experience is that, in the mainstream, journalism is a dead art.

I think that's not too far away Nick.

The hacks of old have evolved into chummy participants of the 'spun news cycle', quality investigation is  passé

..and the ironic thing about BJ's list is that, while the Guardian & BBC actively censor anti-AGW comments, Glenn Beck on Fox News is practically the ONLY mainstream outlet which airs the climate realist viewpoint.

I watched FNC for a long time - only for Greta van Susteren mind you - but I have to say Nick that the views of O'Reilly, Hannity and now Beck are strident to say the least.

Of those names, I am familiar only with Beck. In his case, i can happily overlook stridency if that is the price to pay for getting the right message (on AGW) across. More power to him!

....am 75% with you on that, irrespective of the messenger, the message on this needs more widespread exposure

Am I the only thread reader who thinks you are on about AutoGasWorldwide?

  yep, there's a lot of gas in this group

Martin, I know you know, but for any others reading this thread, AGW is the acronym for Anthropogenic Global Warming, i.e. man-made.

I would post 'terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired' but as I am not reading it, I won't....

You can post that on my latest global warming thread if you like. Save others the trouble.

i only put Fox on the list because they're so "fair" and "balanced" Nick 

[Banjax]

Nothing like a bit of non discriminatory stereotyping eh

This thread smacks of a " if you dont read what i like then theres something wrong with you"

correct 

Not a good impression from a forum and i`ll bet a fair few silent folk that have read this will find the original post both patronising and condescending

i think i'd find that patronising and annoying that you'd presume to know what others think or care about

Got to say its the first thread that i have looked at since coming online to OOF today and it wouldnt be one that would encourage me to read more or join if i was new.

frightened of a little adult debate? you don't read the sun by any chance? 

In fact it would probably lead to me stereotyping everyone on here if i didnt know there was some fantastic members.

that sounds like you're problem m8  :-?
