It's good to see more and more people speaking out against lies, odious rants, rampant misogyny and disinformation on the internet, particularly when it comes from 'personalities' and mainstream media.
Climate Progress has a report by Graham Readfearn about the Australian Press Council findings in relation to lies written by Andrew Bolt and offensive articles penned by James Delingpole (speaking of odious).
More and more people are starting to take action against disinformation of the type The Australian revels in. Tim Lambert from Deltoid continues to act as a watchdog, reporting its frequent untruths about climate science. In his latest piece, he writes about a particularly disgusting and false headline in The Australian.
I wonder if it's because as global warming gets worse, science deniers are decreasing in numbers and it's left to the more extreme ratbags to write stuff.
