So much for being "Fair and Balanced"

Media Matters received a leaked email from Fox's Washington bureau managing editor Bill Sammon to employees, insisting that journalists "refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question." 1

Now, I can see if there was some validity to the counter-claim of a lack of proof, or that the scientific evidence was flawed, but what is really going on, is that climate skeptics are simply ignoring what scientists have to say, in lieu of believing that everything in this world is politically deterministic.

It follows the same tactic that Bill Sammon followed in an email over health care reform. In it, Sammons directed journalists to specifically use the term "government-run health insurance" or "government option", and to replace any references to the "public option" with, "the so-called public option." 2
