US Leftist vs. European Leftist
February 23, 2010 American Politics, Climate Science No CommentsBy Arran Gold
One thing that your correspondent derives a great deal a pleasure from is reading leftist European newspapers, like the British Guardian. They are very well written, thoughtful, well argued, albeit dead wrong. The same cannot be said about the US leftist paper, such as NYT, which rely on deception and lies of omission to make their point. The reason is obvious. The US is a centre-right nation and Europe is centre-left.
One area where this has become painfully obvious is the coverage of Climategate. The European leftist newspapers have been much more “forceful” in their coverage and US leftist newspapers have hardly noticed the kerfuffle. This article provides a good overview of this disparity. The European leftist realise that AGW is dead, while the naive US leftist, exemplified by NYT, dream on.
