After last week’s get tough on climate change announcement by News Corp’s Rupert Murdoch, DeSmogBlog created a petition to throw the global warming “junk science” off Fox News.
So far about 240 people have signed the petition. It also got the attention of Fox News regular, Steve Milloy, one of the best examples of the junk science on Fox News. To quote Milloy’s site:
Hey lookit! Steve’s upset the smog blog: Sign DeSmog’s petition to throw the Junk Science off Fox News (desmog) Gee, good thing they say they’re not interested in, like, censoring anything which doesn’t fit their misanthropic dogma :)”
Sorry Steve, but the “censoring” default message is getting a little predictable. Where in our petition do we call for censorship? What we’re asking is for Fox News to ensure quality coverage of science issues like global warming.
