Geez, you just can't make this stuff up. We are force fed propaganda about the myth of global warming nonstop by the MSM and two ESPN guys joke about global warming and they are attacked by leftwing nutjobs. Unreal, but not surprising....

ESPN announcers Brad Nessler and Jimmy Dykes mainstreamed the right-wing myth that cold weather in January disproves man-made climate change.

During the first half of a January 7 game, Dykes discussed a pattern of cold weather blanketing much of the United States and said he had observed a national television debate earlier over “whether or not global warming was still taking place.” While laughing Dykes said, “I listened to about 30 seconds of it, but the guy saying no it has not, I think he won the debate.” Nessler laughed in response.

Regardless of whether Dykes and Nessler agree with the 97 percent of climate scientists who say that climate change is real and presents an immediate threat, or with climate deniers like Donald Trump, it’s troubling that they would use their national platform to peddle right-wing myths.

On Sunday, CBS’s flagship news magazine, 60 Minutes, aired a controversial and sloppy report that completely ignored the pressing threat of climate change while downplaying the need to invest in clean energy. CBS defended its reporting, including the decision not to mention climate change, by citing what it referred to as the show’s “rich history” of reporting on the topic.

I actually remember them ranting. The climate change debates are much like the creationism VS evolution arguments.

Meh. I'm a gonna play the "Koch Brothers game."

Media matters is a Soros operation, totally left wing so this is no surprise.

The number of 'global warming' jokes told this past week probably number in the billions in the USA. So, no big deal that two ESPN guys joke about it - everybody else was, except the loony zealots, who get upset that not everybody buys into their religion.

Slight important difference: GW has nothing to do with religion.

In one sentence, the writer decries "right-wing" myths while spouting the religions* myths.

This whole thing would just make trillions for left wing groups, particularly on Wall Street and in London.

Ha ha ha, liberal networks fighting amongst each other. Good stuff.

Get Bob Costas to say something during a game.

ESPN has always been a bit anticlimatic
