ABC failing on fat facts

From The Australian...

ABC admits Catalyst health show erred on fat facts.


A BELATED admission by the ABC that popular television science program Catalyst had demonstrated bias against mainstream medicine has been welcomed by health groups.
Catalyst sparked controversy seven months ago with a two-part special that described the link between saturated fats, cholesterol and heart disease as “the biggest myth in medical history’’ and downplayed the benefits of anti-cholesterol drugs known as statins.

Catalyst: climate religion and propaganda

Excellent essay detailing ABC's abuses of reason when it comes to climate coverage from Dr John Happs at Quadrant online....

The climate of bias at Their ABC

Conclusion...

Unfortunately, when it comes to reporting on climate change, Catalyst does not offer its audience balanced science. Neither does it offer good investigative journalism. What it does offer is climate religion and taxpayer-funded propaganda.

Catalyst-no sense of history

Heat waves that kill tens of thousands. Apocalyptic floods. Blizzards in the Middle East.  ....in this report we explain the mechanisms behind some of the most catastrophic events of the decade.

Opening lines from last week's Catalyst. The links we added above go to the decade 1940-1949 when CO2 levels were about 100ppm less than now.

It's that history thing again. 'Nuff said.
