>> to the fox news crowd
Are you suggesting the Fox news audience are a generalized group of people who care nothing about the planet or the future?
- reitanqild 11y agoNa again. I am rather suggesting that this is what the vast majority of HN and arstchnica.com commenters think.
- hellofunk 11y agoWell Fox News did air a story last year during a major snow blizzard where the newscasters said this was evidence that global warming was not happening... So it's not hard to see why people have this perception of how Fox News deals with stuff like this.
- thaumaturgy 11y agoI'll take the bait. Even if that were what he was suggesting, it wouldn't necessarily be wrong. Fox News is as politically biased as the worst of left-wing media. Part of its bias is that "global warming remediation is bad for business". Emphasizing the continued use of cheap fossil fuels over continued funding for renewable energy R&D is a short-term strategy; it absolutely requires caring more about the now than about the future. There are probably lots of people with similar beliefs who don't watch Fox News, and there are probably lots of Fox News viewers who don't share all the same beliefs, but as a generalization, it's no more wrong than any of the statements you see these days that includes the word "liberals".
