SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING – OVERNIGHT: In a way, this is child abuse. From Newsbusters: As the COP26 climate summit raged in Glasgow, Scotland, the past couple of weeks, PBS churned out plenty of taxpayer-funded doom and gloom predictions, and, at worst, even seemed to defend the irrational "climate anxiety" felt by some school children who have sadly been indoctrinated by the liberal media on the issue. On Wednesday's show PBS NewsHour, anchor Judy Woodruff relayed results from a poll commissioned by PBS NewsHour and Generation Lab, finding that substantial percentages of children believe climate change will effect important life issues for them later on like having children or where they live. The show then devoted eight minutes to the issue by showing a pre-recorded piece by correspondent William Brangham. One high school student featured in the piece, Sofia Palau, recalled suffering from panic attacks, and having difficulty studying for the ACT because she kept thinking of the "impending doom." What a terrible thing to do to children, and all based on theories and predictions that have been shown to be wobbly. And we call ourselves advanced. November 14, 2021 |
