Thank you, this is the AP article from which I already posted a lengthy quote, along with the URL.

Wouldn't you? Not interested in what those who *haven't* seen the movie or read the book think, actually (most of those the AP contacted). The 19 who gave their opinions to AP had all seen the movie or read the book. > AND I'd like to know what the other 81 thought. Wouldn't you? See above. > AND I'd like to know how AP justifies the lead paragraph of the > article -- The nation's top climate scientists are giving 'An > Inconvenient Truth,' Al Gore's documentary on global warming, five > stars for accuracy -- when the next paragraph tells us that only 19 > of 100 contacted were in a position to even say such a thing. I don't believe it says "ALL the nation's top climate scientists...," does it now? > Tell me, Billie, do you think that was proper or fair of AP to lead > with such a paragraph? Unquestionably, as long as all 19 who responded to the AP are legitimately considered to be among "the nation's top climate scientists." ------------------------ Yahoo!
