Sweden. A deplorably wrong headine: “Wolf attacks Mother Walking with Child in Sweden”

On April 26, 2011 By

Trouble with it is the wolf did not attack the mother or the child (in a carriage)-

The End of the Nuclear ‘Renaissance’?

On March 19, 2011 By

FAIR Magazine deconstructs the latest proclaimation that a nuclear (power) renaissance is happening-

FAIR Magazine watches for media bias and censorship whether it comes from corporations, non-profits, the government or the institutional biases inherent to journalism.  In the past, FAIR took time to examine the bias now the media reports about the wolf restoration.

Fair and balanced!

Their Washington Bureau news chief emailed them saying, “refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question.”  Apparently they would be expected to say “some scientists say there was an […]
