Lawrence O'Donnell (I'd rather listen to Rosie O'Donnell or Chris O'Donnell discuss politics and I can't stand Rosie O'Donnell)
Joy Reid (she's not as bad as O'Donnell but she is actually worse than Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, or Chris Matthews)
Joy Behar(She's actually not a political commentator but she thinks she is, same with Whoopi Goldberg. Behar had the worst show ever on HLN and keep in mind Nancy Grace was on HLN longer than George Washington was on Mt. Rushmore.)
Jeffrey Toobin
Paul Krugman
Melissa Harris-Perry

Since the VAST majority of scientists agree that anthropogenic climate change is real, and about the only ones who disagree are bought-and-paid-for whores of the Koch bros, Exxon/Mobil and that rightwing kook, Robert Mercer and his f**ked up daughter, I can only conclude that you are a totally ignorant, Fox (Faux) News watching, Rush Limbaugh-listening, Trumpkin.

Exxon Knew about Climate Change almost 40 years ago
A new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformation

Tobacco and Oil Industries Used Same Researchers to Sway Public
As early as the 1950s, the groups shared scientists and publicists to downplay dangers of smoking and climate change

Work of prominent climate change denier was funded by energy industry
A prominent academic and climate change denier’s work was funded almost entirely by the energy industry, receiving more than $1.2m from companies, lobby groups and oil billionaires over more than a decade, newly released documents show.
Over the last 14 years Willie Soon, a researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, received a total of $1.25m from Exxon Mobil, Southern Company, the American Petroleum Institute (API) and a foundation run by the ultra-conservative Koch brothers, the documents obtained by Greenpeace through freedom of information filings show.
According to the documents, the biggest single funder was Southern Company, one of the country’s biggest electricity providers that relies heavily on coal.

Documenting Fossil Fuel Companies’ Climate Deception
Climate denier dossiers leaked internal memos reveal a coordinated, decades-long disinformation campaign.
by Elliott Negin
When internal documents revealed earlier this year that ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel interests were secretly funding scientifically discredited studies authored by climate contrarian Wei-Hock “Willie” Soon, the news didn’t come as a complete surprise.
Back in 2007, a Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) report identified Soon—an aerospace engineer with little formal training in climatology—as one of a dozen scientists affiliated with more than 40 ExxonMobil-funded think tanks that then constituted the backbone of the climate change–denier PR machine. Soon, who erroneously claims the sun is largely responsible for global warming, produced work for at least five of these ExxonMobil-backed groups, including the now infamous Heartland Institute.
But the latest cache of documents, obtained by Greenpeace and the Climate Investigations Center through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, lays bare a wealth of detail that was not available eight years ago. For example, they show that Soon received his funding exclusively from fossil fuel interests, including ExxonMobil, utility giant Southern Company, and Charles Koch. He described his scientific work and congressional testimony as “deliverables” to his funders. And some of his contracts specifically dictate that the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where Soon works, not disclose the names of his funders. These internal documents, on top of what UCS had already uncovered, indisputably establish Soon’s efforts as part of a calculated climate deception campaign.

Some older posters may remember Susan Estrich. She is no longer on TV because she's old, ugly and stupid and talks with a bass voice after chain smoking for 40 years.
However, she wrote a guest column for the NYT last week. The pic on the column must have been taken when she was 30.

Exxon Continued Paying Millions To Climate-Change Deniers Under Rex Tillerson
Exxon Mobil Corp. promised nine years ago to stop donating to groups that spread misinformation about climate change. Yet between 2008 and 2015, the oil giant’s charitable arm gave over $6.5 million to groups that deny that burning fossil fuels is causing global warming, a new analysis shows.

Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. According to Oil Change International, Inhofe has received over $2 million in political contributions from the fossil fuel industry. He once compared the Environmental Protection Agency to the Gestapo, and brought a snowball onto the Senate floor to ‘disprove’ global warming.

Cenk is lovable and hilarious, and he’s got balls to get his arse handed to him by the likes of Shapiro and Harris. I’m glad Cenk’s around. Symone Sanders can jump off a bridge on the other hand.

Sean Hannity and Tucker Carleson are the worst show hosts ever on any network.
Posted on 11/4/17 at 1:11 pm to GeorgeWest
Tucker is smart and good for pointing out the hypocrisies of Leftist culture. There is a time and a place for him, but I don’t think it’s O’Reilly’s slot.
Hannity I wouldn’t mind seeing off the airs and I think has actively made the country a worse place.

The Mercers, Trump mega-donors, back group that casts doubt on climate science
The Heartland Institute has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Mercer family’s foundation, which gave the group more than $5 million between 2008 and 2015, according to tax filings.
Heartland officials declined to comment on the Mercers’ support, saying they do not discuss their donors.

"Dark Money" Funds Climate Change Denial Effort
A Drexel University study finds that a large slice of donations to organizations that deny global warming are funneled through third-party pass-through organizations that conceal the original funder
It found that the amount of money flowing through third-party, pass-through foundations like DonorsTrust and Donors Capital, whose funding cannot be traced, has risen dramatically over the past five years.
In all, 140 foundations funneled $558 million to almost 100 climate denial organizations from 2003 to 2010.
