This is what happens when political correctness rules science (Lysenkoism). Your source was called out for his well-known agenda, his repeated denial of basic scientific facts and his overall lack of credibility. That "journalist" really is lacking in credibility but then if we go on to the links back to Homewood, The Tele source, at least it can be said that he put more effort into his hoodwinking than the "journalist". You've got to hand it to Homewood, he's got a nice little hoodwink line going on there. People such as the Telegraph "journalist" and others who go to his site must just believe him without going on to check his sources. They must be either lazy or stupid or will buy cheap sea side land that only gets wet twice a day. If they did check the links Homewood gives, it becomes very clear, very quickly, that Homewood also is not the least bit credible. Indeed. Most folks will not take the extra step that is needed these days to verify what they see online. Sigh. I used to think that full access to knowledge and verifiable facts online would create in informed citizenry. It depresses me if I think about it for too long. The Age of Enlightenment might never have happened given what I see of all of dumbing down that goes. Boy was I wrong. All it has done is give a stage to fools, liars and snake-oil purveyors. Well there is some great stuff too but the problem is that too many people don't seem capable of differentiating the crap from the superlative (or at least the acceptable). |
