Another NPR-like program

“Like so many similar programs, you'll get half the story .... just the left half. I hate it when a political agenda takes over for science, but it's pretty common these days.
In the latest episode Peter Leyden described his ideal future which would please any Sanders democrat. Jeff Goodell gave lots of good panic porn over sea levels rising; but little hope. Two others were equally biased and the list of topics reads like an NPR program schedule.
Personally, I think Peter was mostly right and I am extremely worried about climate change. The problem is you'll hear nothing about the negative impacts. Peter's thrilled with immigration (more is better), but nothing about the consequences. Jeff talks about conservation as necessary (I think so to), but nothing about the costs.
My biggest problem is they make it clear they have an agenda. And that the speakers are all left of center and only give evidence for their side, I can't trust them. They've swithced from scientists or journalists to advocates.
Sorry for being long winded, but this is not the way to convince poeple; it's a way to make your followers happy about themselves.
Unsubscribing for now, but will check in another day.”Read full review »
