In the opinion of the blogs - Michael Mann has done to science what Jerry Sandusky has done to children. Mann can now contest this in court. In other news, The Chronicle of Higher Education is now considered to be a right-wing blog by the media.

'The other blog post, by Peter Wood writing for The Chronicle of Higher Education, also drew a comparison between the Sandusky case and Mann’s alleged involvement in “Climategate,” albeit less directly.

Mann sued both The Chronicle and National Review, saying that the publications had defamed him and damaged his reputation.'

 

he'll have to show damages. That won't be easy.

 

yes the statements were pretty mild... I do not see the damages either.

but... in a similar vein....


"Both posts referenced a supposed scandal that conservative media labeled “Climategate.” The scandal involved a series of e-mails stolen by hackers off various university computers that were said to reveal prominent climate scientists discussing how to cover up data that contradicted their theory of global warming.

The “Climatgate” scandal was widely discredited and the e-mails were shown to be taken out of context."


That is a post from the article.
Making that article the Jerry Lewis of journalism.

 

more "silence the opposition" from the left?
