Recently, the Obama Administration sought to deny that Fox News was a news organization. Apparently, this was not a new trick. Consider this excerpt from the e mails hacked from a prominent climate researcher:
That's one way to get a consensus.“This was the danger of always criticising the skeptics for not publishing in the “peer-reviewed literature”. Obviously, they found a solution to that–take over a journal! So what do we do about this? I think we have to stop considering “Climate Research” as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board…What do others think?”
