Myth-wrecker "While Al Gore drifts into deeper darkness on the other side of the moon, propelled by such revelations as cigarette smoking is a 'significant contributor to global warming,' Sen. James Inhofe is becoming a one-man myth-wrecking crew," Investor's Business Daily says in an editorial. "Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, took to the Senate floor two days [recently] to expose the media's role in the global warming hype. This is a man who more than three years ago called the global warming scare 'the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people' and has made a habit of tweaking the left-leaning environmental lobby," the newspaper said. "One member of the media, Miles O'Brien of CNN, responded ... to Inhofe's criticism of the media with a piece criticizing Inhofe and challenging his arguments. If anything, it seems that O'Brien's reply simply motivated Inhofe to continue his effort to undress the media's complicity and bring light to the issue. "We hope so. The 'science' on global warming and the media's propaganda campaign need to be picked apart. "The assumptions made by gloomy theorists should be revealed for what they are: mere conjecture. "The lies and carefully crafted implications, many of them discharged like toxic pollutants by a former vice president, deserve a thorough and lasting deconstruction. "What the public needs -- and deserves -- is a credible voice to counter the sermons from Gore, on whose behalf cigarettes were distributed in 2000 to Milwaukee homeless people who were recruited by campaign volunteers to cast absentee ballots. Inhofe could be that voice."
