Enigin Media - Remember the Spin

October 24th, 2011 posted by enigin

“A lack of international will means the chances of bringing climate change under control may already be “slipping out of reach”, scientists have warned” - So warned a news report recently.

With COP17 dues this seems to be a apt warning.

The media does seem to enjoy a good climate change story, with the majority around the globe taking the view that climate change is happening - if not the view is based on political view rather than scientific one.

It is interesting scanning the worlds media and seeing the various views on the same story - the quote above has been taken as scaremongering and “common sense” being shown by those that matter - counter wise the other side reports this story with alarm.

It is always good to remember the political leaning of the news service you are reading, whether it is a paper or online. Spin, Spin Spin is the name of the game, based on the news services administrative view of things.
