In Reply to: And now, that silly erstwhile editor of New Scientist, in the Times of London posted by clarkjohnsen on March 3, 2007 at 12:58:05:
On a recent trip to Finland I was watching the BBC news. During a smart and enlightened broadcast (that was nothing like the Murdoch regulated hogwash we are spoon-fed in the US), there was a story on a new high speed commuter train that could get from London to Paris in about 2 hours.The reason for this innovation (according to the BBC) is because of Europe's growing concern about aircraft emissions and the effect they have on the environment - in the context of global warming. On the same newscast I saw a piece about educating euro grade schoolers on how to conserve energy - in the context of global warming.
For me - that BBC broadcast was a such a breath of fresh air(pun intended) because this isn't about trendy politics (or an academy award) - this is good & common sense being applied. It's that simple.
Follow Ups:
BBC World TV is now my preferred news provider.
Not to even listen to the cjs of the world who think it "liberal' propaganda... well he would wouldn't he?... but there are few news sources as thorough as the Beeb in my opinion.
I also like to use their website for a quick catch-up first thing in the morning.
2006: "In June this year Rupert Murdoch invited Al Gore to a meeting of News Corp board members to discuss climate change... The London Sun embarking on a campaign entitled "Go Green with the Sun" is powerful and timely and I look forward to The Australian and other Murdoch publications following suit in Australia."
