Nice going for newspeak, doublespeak, and no-speak to Sun-Times for editorial today on “protected” Chicago public school teachers, “Get bad teachers out of school,” with no mention of teachers’ union.  They said it couldn’t be done, but they were wrong.

Consider then, two pages later in hard copy — which still has far more readers than cyber, or I say so until the web site posts hit numbers — the ongoing free ad for the Jacksons, Reverend Shakedown himself, spouting old, old, line, “Invest in U.S. instead of sacrificing in Iraq.”  Tell ‘em, Reverend.

Then go to p. 46, 17 pp later, for an odd angle on screwing wine instead of corking it, “Wine switch threatens cork forests.”  An environmentalist wacko headline if there ever was one, accurate, however.  It’s an AP story out of nowhere that we can see.  Citation is to World Wildlife Fund, which comes in for a terminal roughing up by Bjorn Lomborg, former Green Peace member, the Danish Debunker of World Panic, in his book The Skeptical Environmentalist. 

It’s been clear for some time that it’s too much to ask of mainstreamers even to know about Lomborg and his ilk, much less cite them.  S-T archives, for instance, has no reference in its archives for Lomborg.
