Climate Spin: 2 Articles Agree With IPCC … Sort Of

Here’s an interesting tale of two spins. Both of these articles are reporting on the same event, findings released by a Dutch environmental agency that agree with the IPCC conclusions. Strangely though, the two articles are clearly intended to present a very different image.

I’m having a bit of a LOL moment here.
AP might as well be American Press. That is a managed media rife with propaganda which seems reasonable next to ‘talk show hosts’ who are deliberately certifiable loons. Since they also appropriate content and claim copyright it’s an automatic warnoff to me of institutional bullshit.
The BBC, however, has a much longer history. It openly competed with Lord Ha-Ha in World War II. A chap named Blair wrote as George Orwell building a fictional world around the context of his experiences projected into the future. I think it was published in 1946 or so the first time : ’1984.’
Today, of course, the Crusades are in full cry in the Middle East and the dictators placed in power for decades are all suddenly having ‘the rug pulled out from under them’ the better to ignite ‘Islamic Jihad’…or at least FaceBook/Twitter social media ignited aspirations to ‘Demockracy.’
So the BBC is much more practiced and subtle compared to the U.S. which believes it is impossible to have too much of a good thing…spin. Yet there is a website called ‘Biased BBC’ routinely pointing out what they see as chronic misrepresentation.
The English are much more relaxed in their centuries-old servitude established in 1066, lampooning with great enthusiasm. In fact, a chap named Arbuthnot, a friend of Alexander Pope, helped make things hot for the propaganda of the realm in the late 18th century when he manufactured a plan to control the British media in ‘selling’ war in India and published a partial description.
It might be the only time in history when propaganda was used to stop a war. It also established the name for British b.s. : “John Bull.”

War is the supreme failure of bridging the differences between nations, according to the creator of a social model called "the Venus Project" American futurist and inventor Jacque Fresco.
Dennis Rahkonen, in today's Chimp: "As potholes proliferate, as levees erode and bridge trusses rust, while crumbling schools beg for scarce dollars, what do conservatives advocate? They want lower taxes and more extravagant breaks for the rich. Meanwhile, public sector employees, typical wage earners, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are targeted for sacrifice."
