Peter Norvig: Global Climate Change Consensus
- henning 19y agoRoot problem: journalists are fucking morons who don't report important issues properly. And then they wonder why we don't read their blessed newspapers.
- corentin 19y agoI'm not sure that journalists are that stupid. It's just that the politically correct ones who just repeat what they're told advance their career and the ones who seek the truth usually end up pissing off someone and being censored, harassed, etc. It's the same pattern we see everywhere in our societies: if you act like everyone else, don't question authority and don't take risks, you won't have any problems.
- dfens 19y agoThe journalists you describe are just following the golden rule; make something people want.
