Does Fox News have any intellectual honesty left? They peddle claims that have been widely discredited, like being gay is a choice, tax cuts increase revenue, and that Obama is the most liberal person living in America. Given this, it's not surprising they also take the wrong position with regards to global warming. In fact, around 98% of climate scientists say it is man made in a report published by the National Academy of Sciences. Fox never produces any credible sources that go against this. They try to pick off the small minority of climatologists who disagree, which you can see is extremely small, or they pick out scientists who are not experts in climate science, like an anthropologist, and then say LOOK THERE IS DISAGREEMENT!!!!! And now Spongebob is the target.
The show "Spongebob Squarepants," which airs on Nickelodeon, apparently had a small part of a show somewhere where Mr. Krabs says "Thanks to global warming, the temperature will soon go through the roof, and we'll have an endless summer." What is really sad is that a kid can watch a cartoon and be more informed about global warming that a viewer who watches Fox News.
It continues to boggle my mind how any rational, thinking person can take most of what they see on Fox News seriously. There are a few random bright spots, like Sheperd Smith. But the majority of it is not even factual. There is an old saying that you are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Fixed News continues to make debate in America harder by widening the gap between what people on the left and right would consider a "fact." And in doing do, they are hurting America and our global dominance. And anything that threatens that is usually something Faux News would be ready to pounce on in a New York minute.
