Yahoo! News lets anti-global warming lies slip through and be published as a news article in science section

Readers, this is truly egregious!

On Yahoo! News, what do we find?

A science news article that is not a news article but a very concerted piece of propaganda that could have been written by Rush Limbaugh.

How on Earth did this happen?

    The origin seems to have been Investor's Business Daily.

    No surprise there. The IBD icon on the right top of the article goes to a page directing you to their forums, which have moved. That's where I stopped following the trail.

    I guess Yahoo! thinks IBD opinions equal news?

    Cheers

    Let's just hope that this was a one off event and that the string pullers for IBD are not the same as those who pull the strings for Yahoo! News.
