Abstract

ABSTRACT The Free Press likes to publish provocative takes that punch holes in established ideologies. When that ethos is applied to the subject of climate change, the result is a largely one-sided perspective that depicts climate science and climate experts as suspect and not to be trusted. Will this outlook carry over to CBS News, now that the founder of the publication, Bari Weiss, is the editor-in-chief?
