U.K. Court Coverage: A Clean Kill for Climate Confusion

Media Matters has a nice wrap on how the U.S. mainstream media covered the U.K. High Court decision that approved An Inconvenient Truth for continued broadcast in U.K.ย schools.

In a few cases, the news slipped through that the judge had actually rejected Stewart Dimmock’s request to block the movie’s broadcast or insist that it be accompanied by trashy โ€œbalancingโ€ videos (The Great Global Warming Swindle, anyone?). But mostly, papers just reported that Al Gore had been caught out overstating theย case.

You have to be impressed when a disppointed plaintiff can spin a court loss that successfully. But equally, you have to wonder, did any of those reporters actually read theย judgment?
