Ministry of Truth


This from The Guardian:
Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency.
One voice? One voice? I don't give a tinker's damn whether this is because the "profound emergency" is global warming, an affront to Blessed Gaia, or rampant Goldsteinism. This sort of openly proclaimed conspiracy to manage the news in the name of a political agenda, and in the wake of Climategate it can't be anything else, is a slap in the face of free men everywhere.

Dear God, how far we have fallen!

Update: the only decent response to this travesty:
This is an outrageous attempt to orchestrate media pressure. Go to hell.
