Yet another example of the unique tunnel-blindness of Fox News and their rightist colleagues.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/center>

The Fox Nationalists are clearly disturbed by the conspiracy theorists who believe that the truth about the 9\/11 attacks has not yet been told. Consequently they use that as an excuse to dismiss remarks by MSNBC’s Tour\u00e9 regarding global warming. The Fox Nation item links to an article by their pals<\/a> at NewsBusters:<\/p>\n

“On Friday’s Dylan Ratigan Show, MSNBC contributor Tour\u00e9, who is also a 9\/11 truther, wondered if Hurricane Irene is an example of global warming. He speculated, ‘When you talk about an unusual weather event happening in New York and this sort of thing, is this really evidence of global warming to see this sort of a massive storm happening here?’<\/p>\n

“Tour\u00e9 is routinely featured on MSNBC, despite his tendency to tweet in support of 9\/11 conspiracy theories.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a travesty! Hosting a 9\/11 Truther to give commentary about unrelated news events? The only thing that could be worse would be to give a 9\/11 Truther his own daily show. Like…um…Fox did with 9\/11 Truther, Judge Andrew Napolitano<\/p>\n

The Fox Nation\/NewsBusters gang whines that “It’s a bit much to blame this hurricane on global warming. It’s even weirder when a conspiracy-minded 9\/11 truther does it.”<\/em> I wonder why I haven’t yet seen Fox post an article dismissing everything Napolitano says because of his conspiracy theorism.<\/p>\n

And, by the way, Tour\u00e9 is factually correct<\/a> in his questioning about hurricanes and global warming. The science is pretty well established that the impact of climate change will include more frequent and more severe weather events. But Fox won’t let facts interfere with their bashing of anyone with whom they disagree. They don’t even care if their bashing happens to snag one of their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
