One More Rant

I am increasingly getting the picture that what is going on with the media is blatant spin doctoring ..everywhere. I am unfortunately becoming rather jaded but not without cause. Take for instance the reporting on the presidential candidates.
Its transparently obvious that the media in general are supporting Oboma (sp?) for president, especially CNN. (a recent poll of media people showed a 67% bias towards Oboma)
Now I actually do not care if a news media outlet comes out and declares its bias towards a presidential candidate or its bias on anything. I can appreciate that kind of honesty, but this pretense of objectivity kills me. Who do they think they are trying to kid ??
humm ..
I could brush this stuff off if I believed everyone was smart enough to get the lie of objectivity, but clearly they are not and the media outlets must know it or they would have given up on the game long ago as ineffective, and detrimental to their cause.
The fact of the matter is it is working. People are en masse buying into the agenda of the media- no where more evident than in the craziness about global warming. Even though the data shows the planet has not warmed in 10 years we are still being flooded with dire warnings of impending doom if we somehow all don't start "reducing our carbon foot print "
It has been estimated that if all the wild eyed predictions of global warming are true and everyone everywhere bought the story line and did everything possible to stop the warming trend predicted,their efforts would amount to a fraction of a degree (2/10ths or less) in temperature change cooler. That "benefit" would come at huge global cost materially and yes in potentially tens of millions of lives.
No I am not arguing the case for " big oil" or that we should not be concerned about the environment. I am simply arguing for honesty and sanity.
An example of open lying and exaggeration to support a bias was seen this year in the dire predictions of global warming causing the north pole to be ice free!!
Check out this blog which I found interesting ..as it expresses what I am feeling ...( there I showed you my bias!!)

Here is another one :

February 22, 2008 (LPAC)--Scaring people and drumming up convenient lies on man-made global warming are the means used by Al Gore to pursue deindustrialization and genocide. However, the plan has developed a hole through which people can see the truth. It came out in the form of a report issued by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), that reveals that almost all the ice allegedly lost in the Arctic has come back. The report shows that ice levels which had shrunk from 5 million square miles in January 2007 to just 1.5 million square miles in October, are almost back to their original levels.
Moreover, a Feb. 18 report in the London Daily Express showed that there is nearly a third more ice in Antarctica than usual. The Daily Express recalls the photograph of polar bears clinging on to a melting iceberg, which has been widely hailed as proof of the need to fight climate change and has been used by former VP Al Gore during his "Inconvenient Truth" lectures about mankind's alleged impact on the global climate, and points out that Gore fails to mention that the photograph was taken in the month of August when melting is normal. Or, that the polar bear population has soared in recent years. Reading the NOAA report, one columnist pointed out: If global warming gets any worse, we'll all freeze to death.
Gore's blatant lies were exposed long back by the EIR. Express notes, scientists are saying the northern Hemisphere has endured its coldest winter in decades, adding that snow cover across the area is at its greatest since 1966. In its Sept. 28, 2007 issue, EIR analyst Greg Murphy pointed out that because the current interglacial period has lasted more than the 10,000-year average, it is expected that a new ice age is in the making. "We don't know exactly when ice will once again advance to cover a good part of the Northern Hemisphere," but an ice age is coming.
