Adequate Journalism Detected at Washington Post

Look at this paragraph from their article about the G8 negotiations over their official position on climate change in which Tony Blair, who gets the story, will get screwed:

Myron Ebell, who directs the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute's global warming and international environmental programs, said he and his colleagues are "pleased with the firm and consistent position Bush is taking on climate change." He added: "On the issue of climate change, Blair is going to make no progress in hoping the U.S. will accede." The institute gets funding from oil companies that oppose mandatory carbon emissions curbs.

Isn't that fantastic? Finally a reporter taking time to fill-in her interviewee's bogus qualifications to speak on the subject, rather than leaving this information unsaid, thus inviting readers to believe that the speaker has something to say that's relevant to the truth.

If only the BBC started living up to this standard of reporting when they keep wasting airtime interviewing this gobshite in their reports. The truth is, the Bush administration denies climate change because: (a) its Exxon sponsors don't know how to make money out of it, (b) it more easily fits with their psychotic ideology of maximally asset-stripping the planet, and (c) they are more insulated from reality than twelve Buddhist monks in a cave in Antarctica.

Anyone who comes out and says it's got anything to do with science, skepticism, or the state of the economy is telling a lie. The Administration's position is taken in spite of these, not because of them. That's why Myron doesn't actually need to talk to people in the government to do his work -- there's no information there. His job is to invent the lies to explain their behavoir as if it was rational.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It's all about how to select a correct companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

It gets down to select a correct companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
