Risking Hyperbole ...

Media Blog on National Review Online
This is the sort of thing that naturally goes unchallenged in the New York Times. Imagine a Republican equivalent of Al Gore — say, Dan Quayle — giving a speech claiming that we must do what he wants or it is, literally, the End of the World. If we could imagine that such a speech would be covered at all, we could be sure that it would be covered with mockery. Which it would deserve. But this slavish deferral to Al Gore, this media attempt to make him the Mahatma Gandhi of the environmental movement, is absurd, and the Times should be embarrassed for being such a big part of it.
