Forecast the Facts | PBS NewsHour: Don't Promote Climate Denial
On September 17, 2012, PBS Newshour provided an unchecked platform for Anthony Watts, a virulent climate change denier funded by the Heartland Institute. This is the kind of reporting we expect from Fox News, not PBS. Please join us in calling on the PBS ombudsman to immediately investigate how this segment came to be aired and recommend corrective action to make sure a journalistic abomination like this never happens again.
The Petition
Below is the petition we’ll send to PBS Ombudsman Michael Getler:
Immediately investigate the NewsHour segment featuring climate change denier and conspiracy theorist Anthony Watts for violations of PBS standards on accuracy, integrity, and transparency, and recommend corrective action to ensure that such reporting never again occurs on PBS.

You'd never know that the right to free speech was considered so important that it was the first amendment.
Education and sophistication do not tolerance make. The Muslims have the Koran to drive their righteous feelings, while the warmists have AR4: which is appropriate as both are books of religious, not intellectual beliefs.
