this article has a pretty good tear-down of the Gawker piece --

http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/04/gawkers-shep-smith-report-is-full-of-holes-187724.html

POLITICO has learned that Shine was not in attendance at the party cited in Gawker's report, but rather in Charleston, South Carolina, with his family. Moreover, the party in question took place on July 4, after Smith renewed his contract with the network in June -- which means the contract negotiations were over by the time Gawker's alleged exchange would have taken place.

Wow, you mean we can't trust Gawker for hard-hitting, honest, unbiased, competent news?

I'm going to need a second to wrap my mind around this new paradigm. Literally, a second.

Yeah, this might would deserve being spun into its own thread if Fox wasn't taking the high road in their response.

A tv network has the right to control what content it presents and when they have someone on their show (especially if they're paid) the network has the right to decide what they'll talk about. There's no story here.

 

[007ELmO]

Fox and high road don't go in the same sentence, do they?

There's no story here because Fox is known to do that, right? It's not really a news channel, it's a TV show. Please, don't speak the truth, we don't want that out there, hah.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

As if none of the other new channels aren't guilty of presenting the view they want to present.

So much outrage over nothing as usual.

I cancelled my Scientific American subscription (Moyer is an editor) years ago because almost all articles took the climate change is #1 side of every subject. They also never posted any of the other side which is part of the scientific method.

What other side did they not post? If you're trying to say that Scientific American was unwilling to post that climate change is not real, well the reason for that is simple, science doesn't support that.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Science is not fair and balanced like Fox.

lol. That's not how the scientific method works. For example, articles on gravitation in "Physical review letters" (top physics journal) does not include a discussion on the flat earth theory, which in your definition would be the "other side."

Here is a link to 31,000 scientists that have a differing opinion. http://www.petitionproject.org/ Many scientists within the IPCC report disagree with the "summary" and have since the beginning.
Using the term flat earth is cute, but doesn't address any fact.

Wow, only requirement is that you have a BS or higher in an appropriate scientific field. No data need be reviewed.

So Fox isn't news but msnbc is?

None of the faculty are climatologist, well one is a veterinarian.

You can buy the Fighting Chance Civil Defense 8 DVD Set there!

why not stay focused on the topic at hand indigestible? Or is linear thinking beyond the capabilities of your script?

troll on indigestible, troll on.. and I'll be waiting for the ubiquitous "tired of being teabagged" response from you.

because your misinformation, your xenophobia, your hateful rhetoric needs to be exposed for what it is. didn't think I had to spell that out, but I guess I did.

What misinformation? I am not a xenophobe why do you keep spreading lies. What hateful rhetoric? You are derailing the thread.

Who - in yet another of those amazing coincidences - also happens to be the only liberal anchor.

From the OP's "article":


Of course, some great Gawker reportage about Shine's evil reaction to Shep showing up with his gay lover at a picnic can't be wasted just because Shine wasn't actually at the picnic. Cue Dan Rather's "factually false but morally accurate" excuse.

Shepard a liberal, now that is funny. Just shows how wacked down the other end of the spectrum you are.

And almost none of those scientists actually have the appropriate related scientific backgrounds. How not surprising.

Oh, you're one of those. There is no left wing, only the center, the right wing, the far right wing and the ultra right wing. Gotcha.
