ABC miss the scoop for the poop

ABC miss the scoop for the poop.
ABC miss a world exclusive by not following up on observations made by Dr Roy Spencer in this interview conducted by ABC's Karyn Wood just over a year ago. If Spencer is correct then according to Andy Pitman he is owed a Nobel Prize for "that paper that buries global warming", but you wont hear anymore about it on Auntie.
While ABC Science may have missed a Nobel Prize winner they make up for it with this scoop on missing mammoth poop. Debunked in 10...9...8...

Aim of ABC NEWS WATCH

In a diversifying media landscape news editors face an increasingly difficult challenge reviewing the work of reporters under their supervision. Inevitably some mistakes, errors and substandard articles slip past their critical eyes.

The simple aim of ABC NEWS WATCH is to publicise the errors, omissions, and substandard reports produced by the News service and related entities of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). In doing so we hope to provide an independent check or audit on ABC news articles and in doing so improve the standard of ABC news reporting. After all it's our ABC.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the actions, sacrifice, wisdom, traditions, mistakes and curiosity of our ancestors. Their collective efforts over centuries helped evolve our western civilisation, giving birth to the liberal society that makes this website possible.
