Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / August 2007(OT:) How to spin the news 101
On the BBC they spoke with a scientist from the Univ of North Carolina about the diminishing coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans. When the reporter asked if it was 'climate change', the professor said, "Well, yes, climate change is a factor, but there are others as well, such as an increase in predators, an increase in fishing in these areas, and <another I didn't quite hear...>" On the News report at the top of the hour, the female reporter reiterated the headline: "Coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans are receding. A reseacher from the Univ of North Carolina says the decline is a result of Global Warming." Well, he *did* after all, didn't he? > On the BBC they spoke with a scientist from the Univ of North Carolina > about the diminishing coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

The female headline reader was the one that said 'Global Warming'. >>>>> On the BBC they spoke with a scientist from the Univ of North Carolina >>>>> about the diminishing coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans. [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > The female headline reader was the one that said 'Global Warming'. YOU are spinning the news now. In 6 weeks, my mums will begin flowering due to climate change. Not global warming. Climate change. If you hadn't been busy fantasizing about banging your mom & siblings, you might have learned about climate change in science classes. > If you hadn't been busy fantasizing about banging your mom & siblings, you > might have learned about climate change in science classes. That's just plain f.cking low. >> If you hadn't been busy fantasizing about banging your mom & siblings, >> you >> might have learned about climate change in science classes. > > That's just plain f.cking low. Yeah, it is. It's as close as I can get to dumping a bucket of ice cold water on your head, from this electronic distance. >>> If you hadn't been busy fantasizing about banging your mom & siblings, >>> you [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Yeah, it is. It's as close as I can get to dumping a bucket of ice cold > water on your head, from this electronic distance. Waht for? Did you read the original post? Here, let me reiterate: The researcher was asked if 'climate change' was responsible. He said, Yes, among other factors. when the top of the hour news came on, the reporter said 'Global Warming' was the culprit. The BBC uses 'climate change' and 'global warming' interchangeably. The second reporter failed to include the other factors. Therefore, the second reporter was trying to imply global warming was the only cause. Now, what about that didn't you quite understand? I made it clear enough for a 3rd grader to understand. Should I have termed it at a First grade level? >>>> If you hadn't been busy fantasizing about banging your mom & siblings, >>>> you [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Should I have termed it at a First grade level? OK - now that I see how you're interpreting this, you have my heartfelt apology for making your teenage fantasies public. But, be careful. I'm watching you closely. >> The BBC uses 'climate change' and 'global warming' interchangeably. The >> second reporter failed to include the other factors. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > apology for making your teenage fantasies public. But, be careful. I'm > watching you closely. Um...gee...thanks! I think... That's something like the Nat'l Lampoon 10th Anniv, where they had a bathroom wall with 'kudos' graffitti written on it. One said, "My mother would have loved you if she hadn't OD'd in the crapper...Liza Minelli" Well her lawyers sent them a letter, saying retract it and apologize or we'll sue your a.ses into the next millenium. So, a couple months later, there was a full page apology...basically apologizing for Judy Garland OD'ing in the crapper!!! I never heard anything about it after that... >>>>>> On the BBC they spoke with a scientist from the Univ of North >>>>>> Carolina about the diminishing coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> > YOU are spinning the news now. READ THE f.cking ORIGINAL POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE said Climate Change. The hourly headline reporter said Global Warming. That's the whole point of the f.cking post. Never mind splitting f.cking hairs. The point of the post was the BBC spun what he said. If you can't stay with the f.cking program, and all you can do is make cracks about my relatives, then how about just SHUTTING THE f.ck UP?!?!?! > On the BBC they spoke with a scientist from the Univ of North Carolina > about the diminishing coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

Some people talk the talk, others walk the walk: http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp Now Nancy will have to amend the freedom "from" information act to silence the newsgroups too! They don't want that kind of dangerous information to get out. >> On the BBC they spoke with a scientist from the Univ of North Carolina >> about the diminishing coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

An interesting observation. I've always stood in awe when people call conservatives "Nazis", then proceed with censorship efforts suiting their agenda. And, in all fairness, these idiots aren't confined to either party. Trent Lott is the most recent convert to these efforts. >> On the BBC they spoke with a scientist from the Univ of North Carolina >> about the diminishing coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

I don't care who thinks "concern" proves good intentions or anything else of a redeeming nature. It's a ridiculous and indefensible position. If you're going to preach it, you'd better be practicing it. If not, guess what that makes you. If, and I stress IF, I believed in man-made global warming, I'd much rather see a community of Bush homes than Gore homes. And if I don't give credit where credit is due, then that also makes me a...well...you know. >>> Some people talk the talk, others walk the walk: >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > guess what > that makes you.
