Why is the media pretending not to know why we're having record-high temperatures?> [View all]

I'm not just talking about Fox! Earlier tonight, Brian Williams and a guy from the Weather Channel were discussing the non-winter most of the country is having, and they blamed it on the jet stream! Neither "global warming" or "climate change" were mentioned! And it's no different on ABC or CBS or any other of our networks.

On BBC, GW & CC are presently as FACTUAL, the way they ought to be. Our "free press" is bought and paid for!
