” … only a handful of media-friendly faces…. ”

No, I don’t think so. Try instead basically the entire mainstream media on Al Gore’s side, essentially for the last 15+ years. One such example: “PBS NewsHour global warming coverage: IPCC/NOAA Scientists -18; Skeptic Scientists – 0″ http://junkscience.com/2012/07/13/pbs-newshour-global-warming-coverage-ipccnoaa-scientists-18-skeptic-scientists-0/

Basically a talking point that loses ground every time it is put out there. Irony being, Democrats instead appear to be the ones ignoring the half of the issue they do not want to hear, namely about the existence of skeptic climate scientists and their detailed assessments on the way the IPCC / Al Gore side are unable to establish that man-caused global warming is ‘settled fact’.

Notice that instead of disproving the skeptics in a manner which should have convinced the general public over a decade ago, promoters on the IPCC / Al Gore side are only able to defend their position by saying “don’t listen to the skeptic scientists, they are corrupted by fossil fuel industry money.” But the moment anybody starts looking into that accusation, it falls apart from sheer lack of evidence. Wild how an entire ideology is supported by talking points that are built on foundations of sand………
