My last post pointed out that the news media, in general, contributes to the persuading of uneducated masses into non-thinking compliance with policy positions of the establishment.
Well, I should then also point out an example that goes the other way that I happily stumbled upon yesterday. The New York Times published THIS ARTICLE which brought in other voices on the global warming noise coming from Hollywood. The article is great. It brings voices from different sides without calling anyone names. What a refreshing change!
However, it only continues the conversation. A thinking consumer of news will still need to follow up, read more on the person's mentioned and their science, to draw a strong conclusion of their own. That's okay. This is an article, for a change, that brings more light than heat, and is a sign-post towards greater thinking and less of a sheep-mentality for the public.
