The recent megastorm that left 49 dead, devastating Louisiana and parts of Mississippi before leaving sections of the Northeast underwater, has been widely characterized by climate scientists as a climate event — but Fox News has not covered it that way. In fact, one of its news programs, America's Newsroom, even cut away from a news conference on the aftermath of Hurricane Ida in New York, complaining that the commentary had turned “political" after several officials mentioned climate change.
This response by Fox News in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence and devastating climate events is par for the course. And it’s the foundation of the network’s persistent attacks -- across “opinion” and “straight news” programming -- on any proposed actions to reduce our carbon emissions and transition to a clean-energy economy.
The new climate “pledge” from the Murdochs is straight from the fossil fuel playbook
Morrison has always thought he was “special” and has a history of doing what others wouldn’t and trying to make out it’s “normal”. It’s the character of the man who claims to be a PM that excuses him of being like us. This Scott Morrison is what’s called a very “a cheap shot”
“It’s not that he doesn’t deserve to see his kids, but so does every other Australian, and I think when your people are doing it tough, you’ve got to do it tough too,” he said. “You can’t have one rule for Mr Morrison and another rule for everyone else. I just think it’s appalling judgement.”
