An ICECAP reader e-mails its publisher, who kindly passed it along:
Subject: Discovery.com Newspeak
I found a Discovery Channel version of the AFP story “Earth’s Magnetic Field Changes Climate,” but they apparently decided the story was better with a different conclusion and so edited it to spin it 180 degrees the other way.
The original said the new Danish research findings “could challenge the notion that human emissions are responsible for global warming", but the Discovery version deleted that in favor of “that is unlikely to challenge the notion that human emissions are largely responsible for global warming.”
Oh. Apparently the wire service’s agreement allows for turning the substance of its stories on their head.
I wonder if there’s an illuminating, if internal e-mail chain precipitating this, as we’ve seen before.
