Scissor, the most persuasive argument for getting folks to avoid CNN is forcing them to watch it at the airports. And I am talking before Zucker came along and dropped CNN ratings below their employee head count.
This would-be scientist is so in love with his own theory that he feels threatened and actually abused by any dissenting viewpoints. The clown thinks he’s the savior of the planet and it is literally driving him mad.
It’s much worse than that. He knows he’s wrong but doesn’t care. He worked his way to fame a fortune by being the most willing of them all to lie and cheat for “the cause.”
Jeez..
Some guy, any guy, goes visit New York (or any big city – London is my ‘hobby’) and the best thing he can find to do is lounge in a hotel watching TV
And then complain about what he sees on there
what are the words to describe such a braindead socialophobic wreck..
<shakes head & wanders off muttering>
I was surprised he actually works out, looking at his bookish physique… I think he was more likely looking to do some young female observation (like on campus) and when a bunch of older adults populated the fitness room, he became agitated with the TV he had to watch instead.
I once heard of a fitness program consisting of “lifting a prick and a pencil”

This is Michael Mann’s typical narcissistic behavior. If he can’t get something his way or to suit himself, he complains long and loudly, even for minor or non-issues. This is his stock in trade. He once complained about a humorous weather discussion because the writer had the temerity to make fun of termites. Fox News? Haven’t they gone more marxist anyway?
According to the Daily Mail, he bragged about having more followers than Marriott Hotels, whilst complaining about Fox News being broadcast in the hotel gym. It seems he thinks he should be treated like a public figure. Hmmmm….
Mann alleging technical skills is disturbed by news sites that inform using facts and refuse to bleat leftist lies for liberal echo chambers?
That is sooo sad… 😆 😆 😆 😆

Fox is by far the most popular cable prime time news channel in the US with three times the number of viewers of CNN Link.
How can the most watched channel in the US be ‘anti-American’?
typical deflection. same mentality as naming a socialism-laden government spending bill, “Build Back Better” to fool the unsuspecting knave.
a sane person realizes one US political party associates with national anthem kneelers and hatred of the US Constitution. that one US party runs decaying and crime ridden US urban centers. that one party has effectively declared FoxNews its enemy.
He’s done a lot of damage to the practice of science, I think that is unfortunately relevant enough. His brand of science is pervading other branches of study as well. We are seeing politics and voting deciding empirical facts.
Modern-day witch hunts are driving good scientists into seclusion.
The general population chooses to be media indoctrinated, having never been taught critical thinking in their youth.
Ain’t nothin’. I was sitting at a bar in a restaurant some years ago, just having dinner and a beer. The staff was playing the Al Sharpton talk show on the big TV over the bar, back when it was still on the air. Never went back.
The next worst (but most educational) was sitting at a bar in a restaurant eating dinner, and they were playing the finals of the national spelling Bee. I never understood how “fixed” it was, but, boy, was it fixed. The designated winner’s (Big, nice looking girl and a MacArthrur genius or something) last two words were “mitosis” and a German word for a fish, “Fishbaken” or something. I got both words. The losers in the finals got words like BOUILLABAISSE and a very long name for a rock crystal I had never heard of at that time, and haven’t heard again, and I have been looking for it. These are high school kids, they don’t study geology much in H.S., neither do they study French cooking. And, why they use non-English words in an English spelling Bee is odd.I didn’t complain to management, even though they should have been playing sports.
Did they, or he ever pay Tim Ball’s bill for the lawsuit he lost because he couldn’t locate his data to show the court? What a dweeb.
Does he have any friends? If so could someone tap him on the shoulder and remind him that you only get one life and that being a blowhard, a-hole cretin to pretend to cover up being a crap scientist is not a good way to use your life?

There is something deeply wrong with Mann. It was most evident not here but in his congressional hearing a few years ago (snippet still available on YouTube) when he said he had never called a skeptic a DENIER, then Judith Curry interrupted him saying “ yes you did, in your written testimony about me for this hearing”.
That level of self delusion in that compressed time frame evidences large mental defects of some sorts.
Might be advanced “oldness“: when old people assume they are too old to keep their mind tidy (and well trained) and make more and more unhinged and bizarre assertions and insist on being treated respectfully (while showing zero respect for others).
People often confuse that with neurological issues, but “oldness” is asserted (a mindful, logical process); it isn’t a biological process.
Sounds glitzy at the NYC Time Square Hotel. I wish i could afford to stay there. I expect Mann’s making every effort to offset the emissions associated with this trip. For me, i’ve been at home watching the golf. Mann’s weekend may have me beat 10000:1 in our co2 footprint for the weekend during this catastrophic existential crisis of climate (/sarc)
No, actually in many cases, quite the opposite, from what I see from the cab of my big truck on the road.

Presume that he means the Marriott Marquis since it is located in Times Square (and don’t see any other Marriott there). But when has he ever been concerned with facts and details?
Not the nicest or most expensive hotel in Manhattan but will run you $600+ per night easily.
Those poor starving climate scientists/”reluctant activists.”
I may need a woke translator to help me on this one, but I believe this is what they would either call “White Privilege” or a “First-World Problem”. These academics are so used to having their every whim catered to…it’s hard to believe Marriott hasn’t responded to such a critical issue /s
If I were a Marriot maid his tooth brush would be used to clean my nether regions and then put back where it was.

He must hold a grudge, since Mark Steyn used to be a regular. In 2022, FOX News is 95% controlled opposition and is is “Mainstrean Narrative, for your dad”.. Big pharma/Government money too good.
a network that promotes Anti-American, pro-Russian propaganda
Would that be like western green organisation accepting money from Russia?
Or would it be more like the NYT telling America that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a hoax and just Russian misinformation?
Oh wait! Trump colluded with Russia. Oh wait! He didn’t.
WTF is it with Russia? The UK/US fought the global, Second World War, and the UK endured food rationing. Putin invades a tiny corner of Europe and now there’s going to be US food shortages?
If being a climate liar was an Olympic sport, I think we have our gold medal winner here. Hansen with the silver. Not sure about the bronze. Gore and Trenberth are too darkish to be in the medals. Schellnhuber?

All we heard for 4 years of Trump from the left-wing msm in the USA was Trump Russia, Trump Russia, Trump Russia.
Even our very own Australian Broadcast Corporation, had the Trump Russia, biggest story of the century, lol.
But shhhh, don’t talk about the laptop from hell, or spying of the Trump campaign by Obamas cronies, keep it a secret.
Ha ha haaa! Tables are turned on Mann in his opposite world! The world where the only openly America-first news network with a corral full of unabashedly patriotic, America-loving commentators is called “anti-American”. Mann lives in a dreary nightmare world of his own imagination.
“Mann lives in a dreary nightmare world of his own imagination.”
We are all living in this delusional world of Mann’s where temperature follows CO2 levels. And we are all suffering from Mann’s CO2/Temperature delusion/dishonesty, whether we believe in it or not.

Pro Russian???
You have to stop sniffing those beakers Prof they are playing with your mind. Next you will be saying gas prices are down!
This is a remarkably stupid comment to make and very much an ‘own goal’ given it reveals Mann’s undoubted bias to the left and leaves him wide open to accusations that his research is also heavily biased.
While few on here would think Mann is anything other than very much to the left, politically,if he had any sense he wouldn’t be screaming this from the rooftops given how politicised the whole climate agenda has become.
Anyone trying to look objectively at Mann’s work must seriously question the integrity of the results he’s coming out with.
Political bias has undoubtedly become a huge issue in academia, especially in science where results are now weaponised very much for political purposes. A very sad reflection on today’s world,.

Notice, these people are already setting up the narrative of “Russian collusion” again? “Russian disinformation” has become another slur in their arsenal, along with racist, sexist, anti-vaxer. What is lacking are verifiable facts. Still, the Democrat Party worshipers in the media will invent a reality why their gods are so unpopular.
2016: Democrats lose – “RUSSIAN COLLUSION!”
Summer 2020: “The Russians are still interfering with the election!”
After the 2020 election: “Don’t you DARE question the integrity of the election. Don’t you dare do the thing we were doing nonstop for 4 years!”
2022: “Beware of Russian disinformation!”
Actual Russian interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections was minimal, and had zero effect. Much ado about nothing. But the accusation is politically useful for the Left to use as propaganda on occasion.

I see Michael Mann knows as much about Fox News as he knows about the climate, or how to use a TV remote control. Fox News is the most pro-American network and is definitely not pro-Russian. He may be referring to one of the personalities who appears to be married to a Russian and is kind of ambiguous in what he says about the war.
I don’t think any of the personalities on Fox News are pro-Russian. One of them is very much anti-war in his outlook and looks with skepticism on every aspect of what we are seeing in Ukraine.
I think it is good to question what we are seeing. Things are not always as they seem.
Indeed, it is deeply offensive, as is every occasion when I catch myself having to read the whining, juvenile idiocy of this pseudo scientist who sold his soul to socialist propagandists.
Also, what was Mickey Mannish doing in a Fitness centre? He clearly wasn’t using it for its intended purpose. Was he there to suck the life out of any intelligent conversation carried on by those who actually do stay fit?

What is deeply offensive is a “Climate Scientist” issuing a vindictive rant about a public news outlet that apparently offends his leftist sensibilities (or non-sensibilities in Michael Mann’s case). This lying fool would have us all in chicken-cages if he had his way.

In the spirit of this I had a look at Steve McIntyre’s site
That used to be me at airports with CNN. This is the first time I’ve complained about it though.
For all involved, I think it would be better if he were to wear a mask in public.
A gag would be preferable to a mask.
DUCTTAPE most effective.
Careful with the Duct Tape, Mr Mann is obviously vewy sensitive and pwone to being easiwy chafed
I like Jim Steele’s description;
Despite the data, the chief climate alarmist and digital book burner, the Joeseph Goebbels of climate change, Michael Mann, has been the media’s go to person for click-bait climate crisis narratives
Scissor, the most persuasive argument for getting folks to avoid CNN is forcing them to watch it at the airports. And I am talking before Zucker came along and dropped CNN ratings below their employee head count.
A credentialed climate scientist feels tormented by a cable news channel? What next?!?
This would-be scientist is so in love with his own theory that he feels threatened and actually abused by any dissenting viewpoints. The clown thinks he’s the savior of the planet and it is literally driving him mad.
It’s much worse than that. He knows he’s wrong but doesn’t care. He worked his way to fame a fortune by being the most willing of them all to lie and cheat for “the cause.”
“Dr. Mann was lying. He falsified his data.” Random quotes from Interstellar.
Not a drive, just a short putt.
That’s because most affordable electrics are no better than well appointed golf carts. OK after the Drive and perfect for puttering around
Hahahaha. Like he ever works out. Anyway, Fox is much more popular than CNN, and much less biased.
Michael Mann is the apotheosis of insipid stupidity and disgusting moral conduct.
So much for credentials.
Precisely.
Jeez..
Some guy, any guy, goes visit New York (or any big city – London is my ‘hobby’) and the best thing he can find to do is lounge in a hotel watching TV
And then complain about what he sees on there
what are the words to describe such a braindead socialophobic wreck..
<shakes head & wanders off muttering>
edit to PS..
I got the word!!!!
Brandon
I was surprised he actually works out, looking at his bookish physique… I think he was more likely looking to do some young female observation (like on campus) and when a bunch of older adults populated the fitness room, he became agitated with the TV he had to watch instead.
? ? Auditioning for Gym’s next ‘Before’ & ‘After’ PR campaign photos: The Mann!?
“I was surprised he actually works out”
Maybe he was just passing by and saw the TV through the glass wall.
He works out but it s “Modeled Workouts” good as actual Data
Mr. Frank: If Mr. Mann was employed at the top of his capacity, he woulda seen the broadcast while picking up the towels.
What a load of BS
Look at pudgy doughy Mike
He’s never been in a fitness center in his life
He might cut through the gym on his way to Penn State’s ice cream shop.
Penn State’s ice cream shop had an ice cream flavor named after the pedophile assistant coach Sandusky. They should name a flavor after Mann.
There’s probably not a big demand for choc’full’oshit.
You are on your game today Scissor…kudos.
or the flavor of the month at Penn State, “Groomer’s Bait” comes preloaded with ketamine.
“Mannian decline”, a synthetic lime flavor lignin derived icicle.
Available only during Arctic winter hot weather.
I once heard of a fitness program consisting of “lifting a prick and a pencil”
This is Michael Mann’s typical narcissistic behavior. If he can’t get something his way or to suit himself, he complains long and loudly, even for minor or non-issues. This is his stock in trade. He once complained about a humorous weather discussion because the writer had the temerity to make fun of termites. Fox News? Haven’t they gone more marxist anyway?
This is Michael Mann’s typical narcissistic behavior.
I’m glad to see that someone else besides me sees signs of narcissistic behavior in Mann.
Narcissistic or Dark Triad?
Interesting question. I think that it is probably hard to say unless someone can get him on a psychologist’s couch.
He’s a… Karen?
That’s a tad unfair on Karen!
According to the Daily Mail, he bragged about having more followers than Marriott Hotels, whilst complaining about Fox News being broadcast in the hotel gym. It seems he thinks he should be treated like a public figure. Hmmmm….

The Democrats and the Left don’t like the truth. It makes them look bad.
Fox News tells the truth. Fox New is their enemy.
Tiger Woods playing at the Masters is anti-American pro-Russian propaganda?
Well, you learn a new thing every day.
Fox News is about the only Major Media Outlet that is telling the Truth about major news events which is why Mann wants it squelched
He desperately ties to be relevant despite his incredible irrelevance…
He’s done a lot of damage to the practice of science, I think that is unfortunately relevant enough. His brand of science is pervading other branches of study as well. We are seeing politics and voting deciding empirical facts.

Dude, that was not a spelling bee for real, it was a movie.
It was real. Honest.
Aside from the fact that he’s a fraud, a phony, a charlatan and a liar, Michael “Piltdown” Mann has other problems.
On top of everything else, the biggest one is that he’s an asshole.
There’s nothing like being the master of your own remote. 😉
Show of hands….
Glad to that is still making the rounds.
At least the medieval warm period is back
College student confronts CNN news
anchorbuffoon Brian Stelter:Brian is a 💩
That’s a little unfair and inaccurate “Short, fat eunuch” is close to the mark, I feel.
I call him “Mr. Potato Head”.
Apt, you can tell when he switches to his “Angry Eyes”
Could Mann’s hissy fit be triggered because he was refused a room at Trump hotel and had to book in at the Marriott instead?
He probably has to stay wherever Penn State will pay the bill.
Did they, or he ever pay Tim Ball’s bill for the lawsuit he lost because he couldn’t locate his data to show the court? What a dweeb.
