Steven Milloy and Fox News

I have a new target for the wrath of Mochi, his name is Steven Milloy and after reading his articles over the last few months I'm finally at the point where I just have to "out" this guy for what he is.

Before I continue please take the time to read these, written by Milloy and published by the state run news network, Fox:

Enviros Exploit Mother's Day With Mercury Scare
Snack Foods Don't Fatten Kids
Study Blows Smoke on Lung Cancer Causes
Trash-Talking Landfill Safety
Secondhand Smoke Scam

Could anyone so blatantly side with special interests against reputed scientists without fear of editorial retribution at any other major news network? No, of course not. The depth of this guys partisanship and the lack of expertise and understanding of the methods behind each of these studies would most probably lead to him being fired. Not at Fox. All science that doesn't agree with a conservative agenda of wreaking destruction on the environment is junk science to this lunatic.

His latest article attempts to debunk the study by 200 scientists that found global warming will lead to the melting of the ice-caps and the extinction of polar bears by 2100. I loved this opening statement "I'm not quite sure what the future holds for polar bears, but it doesn't appear that any alleged man made global warming has anything to do with it." The problem with Milloy is just like he can't admit living under high tensile power lines is dangerous, smoking causes cancer, junk food causes obesity and fish are high in mercury; he also can't admit there is such a phenomena as global warming. It angers me that Fox has the audacity to give this man an audience and advocate him as an expert.
