PBS’s “The News Hour” Takes On Climate Change, Draws Fire
PBS’s nightly show “The News Hour” drew vociferous attack for their recent 10-minute segment on climate change. At issue was their “balanced” program that included roughly equal time for the 97% – 98% of climate scientists who support the theory of anthrogenic global warming and 2% – 3% of remaining skeptics.
I can understand the rancor. There are people who think the Holocaust in Nazi Germany never happened, but can you imagine PBS giving them equal billing on a documentary on the subject? That’s precisely the error the show’s producers committed, from where I sit.
