Well, Well, Well - "The Mysterious Mr. Revkin" Shows Up As Breakthrough Institute Member

[hatrack]

And not a word from the NYT . . . huh. Strange, no?

This file is in the part of the Breakthrough Institute web site which gives little bios of the Breakthrough People, folks like Roger Pielke, Jr., Dan Sarewitz, Bruno LaTour, bunnies know the types, but you only find Andy's Page (btw, Eli has a webcite) hanging out there without a link to it.

Now, some, not Eli to be sure, might think that it a bit curious that Andy Revkin flacks for the Breakthrough Guys on a NY Times Blog. Others might ask why he did not disclose in the post that he is or was one of the Breakthrough People, although evidently under deep cover. That there might be a bit of a conflict of interest even if it were printed in a deep footnote on some obscure web page.

Still others are wondering why Andy is truncating comments that have already been posted on the current post with extreme prejudice, you know the ones that call him, Teddy and Mike S out for their acts. Perhaps some of those questions are now answered.

Eli has inquired of the New York Times Public Editor. Perhaps she will reply.

1. You should have seen the picking and choosing going on over David Brooks's

last sunday...about how suffering is good for you (not me, just you).

The NYT would only pick the ones that agreed with him, and they were precious few.
