Jenna, is there any particular reason why the news you post is unidirectionally biased?

Jenna Orkin said...

ditto re your comments. I hope someone pays you well for them, btw.

Peak oil began as a professional interest in 2005. It lasted 6 months, the amount of time required to understand not only the number of times the ideas had been recycled, but to then move my interest off into the realm of hobby. So no, no one pays me.

But the question was genuine, even if you would prefer not to recognize the truth in it.

Do you believe that the only news worth posting is always slanted towards the pessimism that seems to define the neo-malthusian perspective? Do you really see no good in the world of man? And you believe this while living in a city that is a shining example of the successes of your species, rather than moving off to where those who claim sustainability dwell?

to the contrary.

Oh, I see all sorts of good in the world of man. Uni-directional news bias does not happen by accident, and the question isn't why I created that type of bias..but you.
