The Nashville Tennessean yesterday (21 Jan) ran a story headlined, “Global warming report riddled with errors.”  The sub-title reads, “Mistakes open door for skeptics.”

Weeks of deafening silence have followed the revelations of the manipulation of statistical research, of the censuring of doubting scientists, of the subversions and of the out-right lies presented by the proponents of global warming. The liberal media have done what they could to make sure that the fewest possible number of people know the truth.

Now comes a correction which is no correction at all. “Five glaring errors were discovered in one paragraph of the world’s most authoritative report on global warming…” Hundreds of emails reveal collusion, but the “admission” is only to FIVE error in ONE paragraph!

“But the mistakes open the door for more attacks from climate change skeptics.” This is spinning the facts as only the arrogant media elite can do. The assumption presented by the Tennessean is that scientists are basically in agreement about global warming. The opposite is actually the truth.

The Oregon Petition is the third, and by far the largest, of three prominent efforts to show that a scientific consensus does not exist on the subject of global warming. The petition site currently lists more than 31,000 signatories, many of whom are legitimate, scientific scholars and researchers.

Dozens of on-line readers of the Tennessean commented, but the comments were focused on the aspect of climate change/global warming. They missed the point! Here is a major metropolitan newspaper admitting an error and with a quick sleight-of-hand, uses the admission as further proof that the lie is the truth. Amazing!

When a newspaper (or any other company) is not owned by local residents, it has no reason to be loyal to, or truthful with its readers. The Gannett Corporation doesn’t feel it owes you anything, so it doesn’t deliver anything.

Bigger is not better, whether it is a newspaper or a government. Bigger is only bigger. It can be a bigger lie. It can be a bigger deception. It can be a bigger tragedy for the people.

Small is where accountability and honesty have their best chances of survival. Forget the Empire, just give me a Tennessee Nation.
