There are plenty of claims made about “climate change,” but what should be believed? The Associated Press tried to help sort things out in totally unbiased fashion:
AP now farming out its "fact checking" to the likes of Michael Mann. #journalism https://t.co/716xehmyk1

In the AP article titled, “On climate science, most GOP candidates fail,” climate change alarmist Michael Mann is cited as a scientific source:
“This individual understands less about science (and climate change) than the average kindergartner,” Michael Mann, a Pennsylvania State University meteorology professor, wrote of Cruz’s statements. “That sort of ignorance would be dangerous in a doorman, let alone a president.”
What? No Al Gore on the “fact checker” panel?

So "fact checking" outfits inside a biased media are politicized? Wow. Who could have ever seen THAT coming? https://t.co/PPzVQUSbUD

Mark Steyn had an assignment for one of the AP’s go-to fact-check sources:
.@jamestaranto Maybe @MichaelEMann can also cover the Mann vs Steyn trial for AP.

What a great idea! It would provide a level of objectivity we’ve come to expect from the mainstream media.
