How Progressives Grow A Smear
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2013 3:49 am
Our commenter keeps waving around that desmogblog piece on record temperatures that actually just smears people by waving the old "all skeptics are in pockets of the oil companies, electric companies, Koch Bros, latest bogeyman" and I wondered why desmog was sort of in my memory. I looked this up and realized why:

Desmog is the home of Ross Gelbspan, who has been the heart of the smear skeptic movement since the early Nineties using as his source, a memo from an advertising agency that had as client, ICE, an electric company and coal industry trade group. A memo that only Gelbspan has seen in it's entirety. So the "in the pay of" smear is based on a memo that may not exist, for a proposal for a campaign that was never carried out, with not even a glimmer of any evidence that does not lead back to gelbspan in one way or another. So the whole smear is more than likely a big lie. Thank you Russell Cook.
