BOVINE FAECES AND THE ART OF CONCEALMENT

The real tragedy surrounding the 'chicken littles' of the chatterati is how many people actually believe the rubbish that emanates from the poison pens of the Western lame-stream-media. Such a flood of leftist propaganda illustrates how deconstruction and its illegitimate brood have impacted on critical thinking in Western society:
"Alas, the nutrition nazis seem to lack the legs of the warmist crowd, which has made a prolonged art of extracting cash from the improbable, contradictory and absurd. A climate scientist leads a shipload of weather worrywarts to Antarctica to observe ice he says has melted, gets caught fast in that which is no longer supposed to exist and has to be rescued at enormous cost and inconvenience. Do the dire prognostications cease? Does embarrassment silence those who have proven themselves so spectacularly and repeatedly wrong? Not at all. Here we are, more than 18 months after the Ship of Fools wedged itself in an icefloe, and yet the alarmist absurdities continue to pour forth. The latest: that killing sharks  somehow boosts global temperatures."[Roger Franklin]
How did I arrive at my title? Read Neil Postman's 1969 essay:Bullshit and the Art of Crap-Detection
