I think you are misreading it: I don't recall Fox denying climate change, just anthropogenic climate change. I'm sure you can find a quote to disprove that.

What? And you said I didn't watch Faux News? They do one of two things on Faux.
1) They constantly deny climate change is happening and they do it in a thinly-veiled in-direct way by trotting out their so called "experts" who have no expertise in the field of climatology at all to debate actual scientists and climatology researchers. They give the real experts about half the talking time of their side of the argument. They generate and parade made-up "conflict" with scientists to give the illusion of conflict within the scientific community where none exists.
Like I've said time and time again. DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THESE PEOPLE.
2) Something, anything, everything goes wrong or is "in the news" and they try and blame it all on Obama. Ariana Grande licked a doughnut and f***ing Faux News tried to blame it on Obama! (see Fox and Friends, July 8th(?), with former Miss Kansas Teresa Vail as their "expert")
You call that "fair and balanced"?!

You didn't answer the question: which of your statements is true? Are you having a senior moment or just mixed up?
I watch Fox amongst others. They are no worse than CNN and far better than MSNB-hee-haw.
But again, how would you know if you don't watch them? Or do you do all of your research online because we all know how unbiased that is.
BTW, they don't deny climate change, they are not convinced at anthropogenic climate change which is a whole different thing.
Do you mean this person?

She appears well educated and has served her country. What's wrong with that?

Which of my statements is true? You didn't ask this anywhere.
Yep, that's her. Yes, she is majoring in Psychology. How does that justify blaming the President of the United States for someone licking a doughnut? I don't think there's a single other psychologist in the country willing to draw that line. I don't know any psychologists, but the question is on my list of things to ask if I ever meet one.
Karel Čapek wrote: She appears well educated and has served her country. What's wrong with that?
The problem isn't that she's not educated, she is. I never said that was the problem. What I said was people who are not educated in or are otherwise not experts on the TOPIC that Faux News is presenting is the entire problem with Faux News.

You're doing it again! Points for trying, that's for sure. Hilarious. Hard to have a conversation with someone who makes such ludicrous, contradictory statements. Can you not see that?

But you specifically mentioned her!
Dave, Dave, Dave, what are we going to with you?

Those two statements do not contradiction each other in any way. One is a hypothesis. I really don't think there is any practicing psychologist who will agree with her. The other is a statement of when I plan to gather data points on that very topic. You apparently didn't learn that's part of how science works in your Bible school.
Karel Čapek wrote: But you specifically mentioned her!
Yes, but did you ask yourself why I put her name in there? It's easy. So you can go look up the segment yourself, be sure you've got the correct one and then listen to what she said on your own.

You're just full of contradictions, Must be an interesting world you inhabit.

What's a bible? Isn't it that poorly written work of fiction that is even older than you appear to be?

Well, I really appreciate the lecturing, condescending tone.

Well - the first thing you should know: FoxNews, itself, admits it's not a news station. I've seen them speaking in absolute contradiction to reality. That, along with speculation built upon innuendo but softly tempered by the open-toed jackboots worn by their cache of blonds.
Now, I admit that BBC, SkyNews, and the lot are full of crap, too, often lying by omission (particularly in middle eastern matters). In a way, they're worse in that they claim veracity in their presentation.
The only useful purpose for FoxNews is fodder for late-night comics - nothing more.

It is not a quad-core computer - the comparison will be good to get money from investors, but also very misleading. Try installing Windows on there. Try have them compute "1+1".
Even that last is not possible; the four brains simply work together in doing as they did before - guessing the weather.

Did you even read the article? I think "computational problems like discrete classification, image processing, [etc]" are slightly more advanced than 1+1.
