A poll by whom ... the three people who still watch CNN, all living in San Francisco?

Besides, who takes at face value anything said by ANY media regarding any serious matter?

Poll done by Fox News

Second question
You.
With constant reports to us from things you hear in the media, and not one thing you checked out in person in any way.

Not necessarily. but he's readily keeping the door open to keycocker's comments. That's his bane and his weakness.

Yes, and when we check your references we find out that you've misrepresented them. You either can't read, or you can't stop lying. Pick one.

Those references are from the media.You check them out in other media outlets, change them to suit whatever you heard on talk radio-another media source.
Your devoted belief in the media defines every post.

Gonna get me fired from my job again?

From today's Daily Telegraph...............

Climate change predictions must be based on evidence, report on IPCC says

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change should only make predictions when it has solid scientific evidence and avoid straying into policy advocacy, a group of national science academies has warned in a report.

....and in case you are confused by all this, the final paragraphs of the article......

Professor Mike Hulme, a professor of climate change at the University of East Anglia, is due to deliver a keynote lecture to the Royal Geographical Society Annual conference this week in which he will call for a dramatic changes to the way the IPCC operates.

Speaking ahead of his lecture, he said: "The IPCC has not sufficiently adapted to the changing science and politics of climate change, nor to the changing expected and demanded role of science and expertise in society.

"The IPCC's approach of seeking consensus obscures and constricts both scientific and wider social debates about both knowledge-driven and value-driven uncertainties that surround climate change politics."


Thanks, professor..........that's much clearer.

Earth to Dane: The IRS, Census Bureau, Medicare, OMB, et.al. are not "media outlets".
