Anyone who has tried to start a campfire with wet wood knows that just being an arsonist committed to an ignition event is not going to cause a fire. The wood has to be ready to burn, it has to be tinder: that is, super dry. Millions of acres of forest just came out of a freezing, snowbound Canadian winter as tinder, ready to burn with the first blush of Spring. That’s not normal at all. And it’s a crime against humanity for Rupert Murdoch’s media empire to try to convince their viewers that it is.
Excellent interview, and great quote from my childhood favorite Yogi Bear (better than the average bear). The site he mentions AAAS – SCILINE worth checking out, especially for journalists.
Woo-hoo! Going after Murdoch and Fox by name rather than dancing around generalities.

The quote was from Yogi Berra – the catcher. 🙂
