Right now I'm living in a hotel in NY during training, and one of the big bonuses is free newspapers (USA Today, WSJ, NYT). The only one available on Sunday is the NYT Sunday edition. I have got to comment on the fact that this thing is a tome! Aside from terribly slanted coverage and the substitution of opinion for fact, the NYT must be destroying whole forests with this thing. I can honestly attest that the majority of the content is unreadable, and no one person will read the whole Sunday edition. As a result, this thing is environemntally disgusting. For a paper that participates in scaremongering on global warming and other environmental issues, it sures seems like they're contributing to the problem. But then again, that sort of hypocrisy seems rampant among purported environmentalists.
Regarding global warming, it seems that dissent on this issue is not welcome, with a discussion here.
The hypocrisy can also be explained by the idea that the "global warming" show is merely a convenient political tool with no real substance.
