A hot AP story POWERLINE Reader William Katz alerts us to a classic example of the way the AP reports the news. His case study is Seth Borenstein's "January weather hottest by far." Mr. Katz observes: "We're informed in the first paragraph that last month was "by far the hottest January ever."

Then, toward the end, the writer casually informs us that January temperatures in the U.S., presumably the home of environmental original sin, were essentially normal, "ranking only the 49th warmest since 1895." Oh. As Gilda Radner used to say: "Never mind." Supplementary reading: S. Fred Singer and Dennis Avery, Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years. powerlineblog.com
