And while you're at it ("looking...Good !! And while you're at it ("looking at the ABC's numbers at the end of June..") you could do worse than see if The ABC News & like information services bothered (if at all) to cover the following news stories with balanced, informed & honest journalistic coverage related to the Climate Change debate. <br /><br />http://www.iceagenow.com/New_Little_Ice_Age_to_Begin_in_2014.htm<br /><br />http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/23800MarathonSimmo, Sydney Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529417435989878522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330650666541115497.post-2596251596716672942010-06-03T15:06:34.458+10:002010-06-03T15:06:34.458+10:00Greta comment MM.

It appears ABC's foray into opinion journalism over hard news reporting may be a contributing factor. We'll look at the numbers at the end of June and see how much of the "decline" can be blamed on the move to Op ed pieces.Marc Hendrickxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764038599250494228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330650666541115497.post-80254948765411506912010-06-03T15:02:43.692+10:002010-06-03T15:02:43.692+10:00Your satirical comparison with past & blatant ...Your satirical comparison with past & blatant support by ABC News services, investigate journalism & information programs (eg The 7:30 Report etc) of the Climate Change Alarmist brigade is most apt. <br /><br />How does that old saying go.. "As yee sow, so shall yee reap". <br /><br />With the Climate Change (Global Warming) case now thoroughly discredited around the world & collapsing around the doomsayers ears, it's time for those who published this drivel to be held to account. "...so shall yee reap". <br /><br />ABC News (& indeed their BBC UK counterparts) should have been above such poor journalistic performance, more akin to the news reporting tactics employed by commercial Main Stream Media (MSM) who can't resist a bad news Alarmist story whether it be true or otherwise.<br /><br />After all, it's bad news alarmism that 'sells', good news rarely gets a mention.<br /><br />How easy it's been to simply publish the shrill cries of the 'Alarmist' foretellers of global disaster "we're doomed, CO2's a pollutant (NOT!), Polar bears are becoming extinct (NOT!), Pacific island nations are disappearing beneath the waves (NOT!), global temperatures are rising beyond normal predicated levels following the last 'Little Ice Age' (NOT!), the Himalaya's & other glaciers around the globe plus the Artic & Antartic ice fields's are melting at exceptional levels (NOT!) etc, etc. <br /><br />No thanks to the ABC/BBC & MSM, the real story & battle for the truth was not won via the MSM but has been fought out over the Internet & the Blogosphere. <br /><br />Web sites debating the science, some (like What's Up With That http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/04/a-devastating-response-to-theres-nothing-to-see-here-move-along/#more-13710 or Jo Nova's http://joannenova.com.au/ ) now attract hundreds of thousands of hits weekly by ordinary citizens from around the globe. Why? <br /><br />Simply because we, 'the people' have found the MSM in their respective countries wanting in both accuracy & truthfulness.<br /><br />A far more creditable, timely & accurate source of Climate Change information now resides on the NET & the Blogosphere!<br /><br />The ABC & other MSM have been left at the post. The world of information technology has raced them by. It is they who are now in catchup mode! ..."so shall yee reap!"MarathonSimmo, Sydney Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529417435989878522noreply@blogger.com
