Washingon Post reporter: "I think a lot of Americans, quite frankly, doubt some of this climate change science"

Clueless Media Analysis | National Catholic Reporter
Last night, Chris Matthews had Nia Malika-Henderson, national political reporter for the Washington Post on to discuss the previous night's GOP debate. At one point, the subject of Gov. Rick Perry's denual of the science surrounding climate change came up. Here is what Ms. Malika-Henderson said:
No, I think, when the Tea Party, when folks from the right hear climate change, they actually hear climate tax. And so one of the things they do is they just try to undermine the science of it. So that`s what you saw him doing last night. But I think this puts him obviously in the mainstream of the Tea Party. And I think a lot of Americans, quite frankly, doubt some of this climate change science.

Al Gore maintains a web log that doesn't allow for comments.

If that web log opened up a comment page, and did not censor it any way - then this "reporter" could read, first hand, some of most scathing abuse directed at Gore and what he stands for that the reporter would ever read in her entire life.

She would come to understand that that not only do "a lot of Americans doubt 'some' of this climate change 'science'" -

rather, the subject makes a lot of Americans absolutely enraged.

And there are very few other people or topics that have, or could, inspire this degree of violent and visceral loathing
