The BBC has been telling people to steer clear of independent news sites because they publish disinformation. After last week’s misreporting of the al-Ahli hospital explosion by the BBC, that claim rings a little hollow.
Reuters has published another 'fact check' of an article in the Daily Sceptic by Environment Editor Chris Morrison, this one even more feeble than the others.
In 2015, the world's richest countries agreed to devote $100 billion a year to 'climate finance' in the Global South. So far, this includes a power station in Bangladesh, an airport in Egypt and ice cream parlours in Asia.
Journalist Neil Winton says that when he covered climate change for Reuters he thought CO2 was to blame for rising temperatures, but now he believes the scientific evidence shows he was wrong.
Robert Kennedy Jr has filed a lawsuit in Texas against the Trusted News Initiative, a legacy media consortium, which he claims is designed to kill off online news rivals.
Another day passes, and another Daily Sceptic article is assailed by ‘fact checkers’. When will these zealous defenders of received opinion stop claiming our sceptical interpretations of the facts are factual errors?
