CLOSE-MINDEDNESS and bad journalism.

This correction by Michel Taylor of something called the Australian Independent Media Network has got to be the longest correction in history. . . .

It is clear that Mr. Taylor’s core mistake is that he researched the positions of a climate skeptic (Mr. Evans) solely by asking climate alarmists (and climate alarmist web sites) what this skeptic believed. . . .

At least he admitted his mistakes in great depth. But outlets such as the LA Times and the BBC have recently made it a rule they will never allow skeptic voices into their reporting. They have institutionalized Mr. Taylor’s mistake.

The apology has since been removed, so I changed the link to an archived version.
