This metaphor is what the article is built in though: that excluding MacBooks from comparative reviews is a denial in the same way that Fox News denies climate change—
Both of which should be non-political topics, according to NASA[0]

- ETH_start 4y agoThat's not my point. My point is that there are plenty of leftwing denials as well, and that singling out Fox News is such a cliched, partisan-reveal.
- Spivak 4y agoI'll agree that it's a cliche but since the article was an allegory to An Inconvenient Truth any example of "someone who has part or all of their identity wrapped up in denying climate change" is going to be someone on the right political spectrum and Fox News/Drudge/Hannity have more name recognition than say Inhofe or Morano.
- willnonya 4y agoIf that is the metaphor the article is built on then it's starting from a point of illconsidered bias. That would seem to undermine the moat of the article... It's possible to have made the argument and the point you've inferred here without triggering the partisan elements. And that's the part you seem to be missing.
