    In February 2019, The Western Journal published an article which alleged “Climate Change ‘Heat Records’ Are a Huge Data Manipulation.” Scientists criticized the article, saying it was deceptive and that it contradicted existing research. The Western Journal subsequently retracted the article.

    In November 2021, a study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate described The Western Journal as being among “ten fringe publishers” that together were responsible for nearly 70 percent of Facebook user interactions with content that denied climate change.

    What a cool source! Did the Epoch Times or Not The Onion skip this story?

    It’s so fuckin’ funny how conservatives simultaneously hate when entertainers dive into politics (shut up and dribble!) but then go into full dick-rider mode when a conservative entertainer says something they agree with.

    It’s why they keep electing actors to be president: they have no substance, so they have to go with someone who performs the part of a “reformer” while just handing the keys of the country over to the billionaire class.

    And let me preemptively argue Neuromancer’s point for them:

    “No, you.”

      I like how you post something irrelevant because you can’t discuss the article.

      Therefore, all your points are irrelevant unless you can show that they cited Mike incorrectly.

      Attacking the source is such an uneducated, low-brow attempt to troll.
