Oh please. More of this climate change nonsense? The earth is fine, people.

And the earth will continue to be fine. It's the people we need to worry about, and they are in big trouble if something isn't done about this. Instead, we have the president's EPA proposing a new rule today making it much more likely that people will die due to increased levels of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere from coal-fired power plants.
 
Pointing to cold winters as evidence against climate change gets you ridiculed (rightfully), but for some reason pointing to any disaster at all and calling it evidence for climate change is always considered acceptable.

I think that started when it was called Global Warming. People took that literal and said, but wait, it's still cold! I was never one to be on the side of Al Gore and his agenda, but climate change is real. I lived in the rust belt and I can remember snows as a kid being 3-4 feet of snow a season, EASY! and 3-6" at a time. That seems to be tapering off to the point that even the winter season is being shortened. And what does come down is little snows here and there. And I mean, there has to be something said for the fires and floods of late.
 
un/undereducated Middle Muricans

Funny, I remember saying something to this effect when Obama was elected. It was more like "I think more than half this country are idiots." I think this election like the one before it, were decided by people who weren't un/undereducated, but rather those who wanted change. So basically either way you look at it, both elections, we're totally F'ed by these jokers. I've decided I'm just gonna stop voting. We either elect millionaires or they leave millionaires. The deck is totally stacked against those paying the bills and in favor of those who we pay. Until that changes, we're F'ed.
 
Man-made climate change is propaganda used to control the masses and was devised by the dem politicians so that uneducated liberals on the east and west coasts of this country would eat it up as another "cause" to fight for.

True, and... wait, I thought they were elites from academia in their ivory towers. I'm confused, are liberals overeducated monied elitists or uneducated, poor, bumpkins? I'm not keeping up with the vilification stance of the week.
 
I have seen this announcement now for 500 'shows' Apple has acquired. And NONE have been made..it's been 2+ years now. lol.

I know what you mean, versus infowars and Fox News and middle American facebook posts.

If you said something like Vox or Huff-BS-Blog-Post, I'd believe you, but contrary to what Trump and un/undereducated Middle Muricans think (assume), the NYT is a reputable news source.

Haha. Wow, you're in for a treat soon.
 
Yes, it will be expensive, no doubt.

But, they will get a lot of content with Disney for nostalgia watchers, and a phenomenal database of people from the entire cross platform globe with Netflix. Nice starting point with either case.
They’d also get a huge headache in ABC, ESPN, and some of the other properties that are an albatross around Disney’s neck. Would they be owning the theme parks too?

The weird thing is that my professors at Harvard were talking about this when I was an undergraduate 35 years ago. I had no idea they were "dem politicians" or that my fellow students and I were "uneducated liberals."

Actually their bias is pretty evident. Have you seen the racist remarks tweeted by Sarah Jeong? The New York Times has decided to stand by her, and the fact that she is on the editorial board and helping to steer the ship says a lot. The Times would go nuts if another publication supported this kind of person and we all know it.

The NYT editorial board is responsible for the editorial page. They have nothing to do with the rest of the paper.

No, the context of her comments make it okay.

Justifying racism is losing battle brother.

It makes your comment that she's "helping to steer the ship" factually incorrect.

Enlighten me because I do not subscribe, but I would assume the editorials are published in the same paper, correct? Genuinely asking. This would mean they are influencing what is published in the paper, and thus changing the public's outlook on said paper.

It used to be, but it began jumping the shark in the Obama years, and completed the jump leading up to Trump’s election (which blindsided all the so-called experts at the Times).

The Times used to (largely) keep its left wing politics restricted to the Editorial pages, where it belonged, but now that partisan ideology permeates most news reporting. It’s simply an activist arm of the Democratic Party now.
 
Anybody who thinks they can change the way the earth fundamentally functions is delusional.

Climate change is REAL, the climate is always changing the Earth is forever changing.

Man made climate change is where the debate is;

Can anybody answer to what extent or specifically what percentage, is Man responsible for climate change?
 
New York Times has lost all credibility with their Liberal views. They fail to even report news if it doesn't meet their agenda.

Your pejorative use of liberal — including capitalization — speaks volumes.

But I’m more interested to hear about your examples of the NYT ignoring news that doesn’t meet their “agenda”.

The editorial and op-ed pages are just two pages in each edition of the paper, and the editorial board and staff are separated from and do not have any involvement with the production of the rest of the paper.
