A Valid Question About Media Integriry

The Star, IMHO, doesn't show any more or any less bias than other media outlets in their opinion pieces so it is up to those who quote them to determine fact from fiction. In the early days it was accepted that you accepted nothing on the internet as fact without verification and nothing has changed. People have to start defining by what criteria do you judge whether a person is a journalist/reporter, a columnist, a blogger, etc.There is a vast difference.

Does the Toronto Star Ever Run out of Hot Air?
By Dave | April 2, 2007

Here we go again… The Toronto Star is at it again with more hot air about how the world is ending, rehashing the same global warming rhetoric over and over. Their theory must be that when you don’t have any facts to support your position, if you just keep repeating your message over and over again, people will start to think it’s true.

Last week I wrote about the Toronto Star’s feature on climate change entitled T.O. 2050: Bad Weather Ahead, which read just like a good science fiction film. Today, they’ve got a new story out telling us the climate forecast for Canada is grim.

In the first article, we were warned that Lake Ontario will become a bubbling cesspool of sewage, the water taps will run dry, and violent crime would be running rampant from the greenhouse gases. In the sequal released today, they treat us to some more “facts” about what the future holds for us. Apparently, forest fires will consume the country, the snowy arctic will become a green pasture, the Great Lakes will be running dry, and hurricanes will frequently pummel Canadian civilization.
