I like the way you think!
"Frankly, the MSM lacks integrity and deserves the Singaporean response to thieves."
And I hope my comment did not come across as though I "excuse the mainstream media (MSM) and the U.S. oligarchy that directs it... Nothing could lie further from the truth."
The representation of Lindzen as an objective expert whose credentials are on equal footing as Jones and Mann and other legitimate climate scientists who are NOT in the employ of Exxon-Mobil on the side, and the representation of Monckton as any expert of any kind should both absolutely be felonies. It's clear to me that both felons are actively engaged in conspiracy to defraud the federal government of the United States, and every time the corporate media (or Republican members of the House Committee on global warming!) give them and their ilk a platform to speak to the public but fail to mention their conflicts of interest, then they become accomplices to that conspiracy.
But I think the public needs to take more responsibility for self-education as well, because there is also a structural problem, inherent to the profession of journalism -- emphasis on what's NEW in the news -- which causes even GOOD reporting of science to tend to emphasize revisions, incremental changes, etc., which in turn tend to exaggerate the overall impression of uncertainty, and I think the public just has to understand that and share some of that burden.
