- Bishop Hill blog - David Henderson on Deutsche Bank

FoxyLeaks: Leaked Internal Memo Catches Fox With Its Bias Hanging Out

Of course, for anyone who has been paying attention to anything other than Fox News, the fact that temperatures in recent years continue to consistently break records year after year is well accepted as such, and is not a theory at all, any more than the fact the December 1st fell on a Wednesday this year is a theory.

The Pakistani authorities are clueless as to who provided the clearance report on the said projects to India on trans-boundary environmental impact assessment.
