NY Times turns up volume on 'climate propaganda machine'
 [The Hill] The New York Times announced last week that it will just make shit up expand its coverage on climate change, just as the Trump administration plans to defund most federal climate programs and the global commitment to pay for climate policies starts to wane.
A group of journalists at the Times will now be "devoted entirely to climate issues" and work with their international news bureaus to report how "the calamities caused by climate change seem to be intensifying."
| And they'd better be intensifying, youse guys, if youse know what's good for youse... |
According to Hannah Fairfield, head of the new climate reporting team, the Times will "produce visual, explanatory and investigative journalism" during a time of "uncertainty regarding the Trump administration’s environmental policies."
| By which they mean they're going after Trump. Even more. |
This is an interesting move because it’s not as if the paper lacks coverage of climate issues; in fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger climate change cheerleader than the New York Times.
Rarely a day goes by that the Gray Lady isn’t wringing her hands and clutching her pearls about the certain doom we all face because of anthropogenic global warming. Its opinion page is one sustained wail about the imminent doom we all face at the hands of President Trump and his planet-pillaging cabinet.
