Climate Change – When Warmers Are More Than Oven Mitts | NewsReal Blog
There is this urban myth – right up there with the one about the psycho hidden in the back seat of a car – about the dispassionate scientist who stands above the fray, oblivious to any concern but the Truth. Like Mother Theresa with a slide-rule, he doesn’t have a mortgage, does not rely on any particular constituencies for his funding, and would have no problem whatsoever being shunned, ostracized and denied tenure for findings contrary to accepted doctrine. His default reaction to revealed problems in one of his theories is: “Golly, this refutes my life’s work. No worries, what’s for lunch?”

The Left is excessively fond of this myth (not so much the other one, because after a generation of over-regulation, culminating in the GM takeover, it is the psycho in the back of your car).

ABC News Watch: UPDATE: ABC achieves balance on story about Polar Bear cannibalism
We are happy to report that ABC Audience and Consumer affairs have upheld this complaint and have now amended the original story to include alternate views by an Inuit leader who suggested that Polar Bear Cannibalism was not out of the ordinary. We believe our involvement in raising these issues has resulted in a more balanced report.
