Boiling Bates Down Allow Eli to simplify the issues about Karl et al. 15 and John Bates Bates designed an overly complicated set of procedures for climate data archiving. He got upper management at NOAA to sign on because the charts looked pretty. There were huge delays in implementation because of software problems and more. The process was a huge time sink. But it had the virtue of making Bates the Gatekeeper. Others were not happy with this. They had science they wanted to publish so they found a way around Gatekeeper Bates. Gatekeeper Bates went crying to Lamar Smith. Trump becomes president Denialists need an issue and cast about. POSTED BY ELIRABETT AT 3:39 AM

Wikipedia editors recently voted to ban the Daily Mail tabloid as a source for their website after deeming it “generally unreliable.” To put the severity of this decision in context, Wikipedia still allows references to Russia Today and Fox News, both of which display a clear bias toward the ruling parties of their respective countries. It thus may seem like a remarkable decision for Wikipedia to ban the Daily Mail, but fake news stories by David Rose in two consecutive editions of the Mail on Sunday – which echoed throughout the international conservative media – provide perfect examples of why the decision was justified and wise. theguardian.com
