Selection Bias Meets Media Bias

Jonah Goldberg
The Corner

From a reader:

<<< The AP just posted an article purporting to
demonstrate that the science behind "An Inconvenient
Truth"
is spot on. The title is "Scientists OK Gore's
movie for accuracy."
The lead sentence gives it away
from the get go"


<<< "The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An
Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global
warming, five stars for accuracy." >>>


However, if you read past this shilling for Gore, you
find that, of the 100 "top" scientists contacted for
the article, most had not seen the movie or read the
book its based on. Of those who had, they seemed to
agree that Gore had his science right.

What was never discussed would be that, given the
partisian nature of the movie, those who saw it were
most likely already in Gore's camp on this issue.

Just my two cents.

Best of luck on the upcoming book and best to your
family.

Keep up the good work. >>>
