‘Alarming,’ ‘Disturbing,’ ‘Amusing,’ ‘Frustrating’: When Your Beef Study Becomes A Rightwing Distortion
Not to worry. Some genius will come along soon enough to tell us what the real problem is: scientists just don’t know how to write press-releases.

“It came totally out of left field,” Rose told TPM.
Can we exchange “right” for “left” here?
It irks me.

I’m sure there’s some research out there that postulates that if there were half as many people on the planet as there are, harmful carbon emissions could be drastically cut.

I’ll be heading down to one of the many breweries in my neighborhood and getting one of those plant based beers. Funny story, I called ahead and asked if I could get a plant based beer, the fool at the brewery told me that ALL of their beer was plant based. Some communist bullshit about hops and barely.

Their hypotheses about how it happened are wrong. Koch, Big Oil, Big Coal, et al., PAY people to track this shit and make use of it. Daily Mail probably got fed the idea by some fossil fuel operative.

They (Fox and audience) either don’t know or don’t care how research works. I feel for those researchers.
I assume that Fox told a network flunky* to find a study that they could use to attack Biden. The flunky got on Google Scholar and found this. He or she didn’t bother to read beyond the abstract, if that. They sent it directly to the graphics department who asked for the takeaway rather than reading the study. And we’re off.
*I hesitate to call this role either research or fact checking, since clearly this is not a focus at the network.
