NY Times turns up volume on ‘climate propaganda machine’

The New York Times announced last week that it will expand its coverage on climate change, just as the Trump administration plans to defund most federal climate programs and the global commitment to pay for climate policies starts to wane.

A group of journalists at the Times will now be “devoted entirely to climate issues” and work with their international news bureaus to report how “the calamities caused by climate change seem to be intensifying.”

According to Hannah Fairfield, head of the new climate reporting team, the Times will “produce visual, explanatory and investigative journalism” during a time of “uncertainty regarding the Trump administration’s environmental policies.”

Why now?

As if all that alarming coverage isn’t enough, the Times is ready to turn up the volume on its climate propaganda machine. Why? Because the media and everyone on the left now realizes what is at stake — they are about to lose their best excuse to expand government, raise taxes, promote globalism and punish industry.

What will this look like?

What we do know is that climate mouthpieces like the New York Times will only ramp up their personal attacks on so-called deniers, push climate doomsday scenarios and blame every weather incident on America’s carbon output. If you think the headlines and articles are egregious now, just wait.

When activism replaces journalism.
