Fox News anchor Bret Baier has a beef with the Arizona Daily Sun. Baier called out the Sun's editor, Randy Wilson, for refusing to give equal coverage to climate-change deniers. "The editor of the Arizona Daily Sun in Flagstaff does not have room for balance in his newspaper," Baier said on the Monday, June 16, edition of Special Report with Bret Baier.

Whoa, talk about the pot calling the kettle black Just like Fox is "fair and balanced" on their coverage of all things Obama. Yeah, sure. Baier criticized the Flagstaff paper for "refusing to give equal coverage to climate-change deniers." Equal, as in: If you print 5 column inches about the proven and devastating effects of industrialization, then you must print 5 column inches from deniers—corporate mouthpieces and creationists mostly. And while we're at it, let's give equal space to the flat-earthers, the 9/11 truthers, and cigarette company CEOs who deny their product's harmful effects.

There simply is no "equal" or "balanced" debate about human-caused climate change, if by "equal" Baier means there's the same number of experts on both sides of the issue. Last year one study found that 97 percent of scientific papers agreed that humans are responsible for the ecological messes that soil our planet. That's 97/3, not 50/50 or anywhere close! In the editorial that got Bret Baier all hot and bothered, Randy Wilson said it's time to put the "balanced" BS behind us and move on.
