Weโ€™re โ€œshockedโ€ of course, but Media Matters has reported a leaked Fox News memo, quoting Fox Washington managing editor Bill Sammon scolding reporter Wendell Groler and on-air host Jon Scott for discussing actual evidence of climate change without inserting Fox bias into theirย report.

โ€œโ€ฆweย should 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 thatย critics have called into question,โ€ Sammonย wrote.

Sammon went on to say, โ€œIt is not our place as journalistsย to assertย suchย notionsย as facts,ย especiallyย as this debateย intensifies.โ€ The โ€œnotionโ€ on this occasion was an objective measurement of Earthโ€™s global temperature.
