Climate Change loses its pulpit at CBS.” Sucks to be them, eh? Wise people, OTOH, are pleased…
To anyone outside the activist echo chamber, it looked like a normal corporate reshuffling. CBS’s parent company had merged with Skydance, and the incoming leadership did what executives always do after mergers—trim redundancies, change direction, and try to make the business profitable again. But to those who had mistaken climate coverage for a holy mission, this was blasphemy.
… What the press corps mourns is not a loss of information but a loss of control over the story line.
Look, you know that this a religion. It walks like one, it talks like one, it IS one! There is heresy, there are self-flagellations, there are sins, there are saints, there are indulgences. It’s a religion. DUH!
And that’s precisely why the reaction has been so overwrought. When a newsroom dares to treat climate as a subject rather than a religion, the self-appointed guardians of orthodoxy cry “censorship.” Yet no one has been banned from reporting on weather, hurricanes, or environmental trends. The only thing that’s been silenced is the reflexive insistence that every data point confirm the same story.
