LATimes cites ‘Mein Kampf’ to attack Heartland | JunkScience.com

The Los Angeles Times invokes der Führer to attack Heartland.

Articles: The Heartland Institute Flap

[The New York Times] calls the event a "leak" rather than evident fraud, clearly indicating bias.  It also refers to a "campaign against climate science."  This too is wrong; there are honest scientific disputes, which the NYT ignores.  It is of course hypocritical to criticize Heartland for accepting donations from corporations, but the article should at least have noticed that most of the money goes to issues that have nothing to do with climate, such as educational reform, health-care reform, etc.  The NYT does note the absence of any funding from oil companies, which might conceivably have an interest in the climate issue.

Has the New York Times ever accepted any money from corporations?
