That draft report on climate change by government scientists that the Trump admin is gonna bury but the NY Times discovered?

That's horrible reporting and researching. -- nm - Inigo Aug 11, 11:36
i *hate* when this stuff happens. It's justifiable fuel to the right about the left wing media 'conspiracy.' -- nm* - Andie Aug 11, 11:32 3
- Yep. It's fake news instead of just bad reporting. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 11:46

Don't worry, I'm sure they issued a 2 sentence retraction on page 492. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:31 12

    - Sarcasm doesn't really work when it is directly contradicted by its target. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 11:54 8
