The attitude to @GosnellMovie shows the systematic left-wing bias of the media

Let's compare with real data how the media reacted to "Gosnell" compared to Al Gore's climate change movie "An Inconvenient Sequel"

THREAD
Domestic movie takings over the first Fri-Sat-Sun weekend of wide release:

GOSNELL: $1,162,988*
GORE: $810,284**

Gosnell also took more $ per theater than Gore

(Even adjusted to 2018 dollars Gore doesn't crack $1m either)

*boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=d…

**boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=d…
Rotten Tomatoes: Media Reviews

GOSNELL: 6
GORE: 149

So Al Gore's movie, that took LESS $ at the box office has X24 more reviewers

No bias there. I'm sure they're all going this weekend!
Rotten Tomatoes: Critics/Audience

Unsurprisingly, the media loved Al Gore's movie (80% rating) while the public were lukewarm (49%)

On the other hand, the public love Gosnell so far (99% rating) and the few top media reviewers don't like it (67% rating)
Lift imitating art: the media ignored the Gosnell trial, now they're ignoring the Gosnell movie

What's the justification for this given these data points?

Announcement expected Friday —> Trump Bars Immigrants Who Cross Border Illegally From Seeking Asylum nyti.ms/2yZaV5e?smid=n…
Here is the DOJ/DHS interim rule

Reading this it suggests the President will issue a Proclamation barring asylum from any aliens that do not present themselves at a port of entry — bye bye Caravan

justice.gov/opa/pr/doj-and…
"The AG and DHS Secretary have determined [that] authority should be exercised to render ineligible for a grant of asylum any alien who is subject to a proclamation suspending or restricting entry along the southern border with Mexico but who nonetheless enters the US..."

So far Whitaker as Acting AG is opposed by all the right people. Shumer, Nadler, Schiff

Good pick @realDonaldTrump
Eric Swalwell and Ted Lieu too. The dream team of opposition
Add Feinstein to the list 💯

You know what....I have a idea we should hope for a disease that wipes man out. There fixed (JOKING) besides Ted Turner, founder of CNN already had that idea. Just because the creator of the ‘internet’ Al Gore made ‘Climate Change’ popular doesn’t make it a fact.

Ted Turner FOUNDER OF CNN says the way to save the world is with less people. “There is too many people”

Remember that time Bill Gates promoted ways of lowering co2 by the effective use of vaccines to lower the population by 10 or 15% “REALLY GREAT JOB”

Wait I thought vaccines saved lives?

Just returned from Bangkok, where nations made little progress towards finalising the Paris agreement on climate change that aims to limit global temperature rises over the next 80 years.

It was my first @UN #climate change rodeo and there were a few things I wasn't aware of
Under Paris, countries agreed to a fairly detailed set of promises to keep global temperature rises under 2C by 2100.

It was the first time all nations - both developed and developing economies - signed up to the same set of climate rules. But they weren't binding
Parties gave themselves in effect 3 years to come up with a text agreed by everyone, ratified, and translated into national law on a state-by-state basis. The idea is the accord isn't legally binding, but the rulebook it provides could be on a national level

1. The arguments in this @newrepublic article by @emorwee that #climate is siloed in the press, that the press should tie every extreme weather/disaster event to #climate simply don't match up to the data. #envcomm #scicomm newrepublic.com/article/150124…
2. Staffers working at @mediamatters + @climateprogress (where @emorwee got her start) have long manufactured this claim + driving a self-serving narrative on the Left that the news media is failing in its coverage of climate change.
3. But this narrative & its embrace by those on the Left reflects a classic hostile media effect. As @lfeldman17 reviews the most partisan on an issue see news coverage as biased to their position even when it may actually be favorable. oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/o… #scicomm #envcomm

1. CA Jerry Brown’s Real Legacy
Remember when Gov. Brown said the world needs ‘brain washing’ on climate change. Sounding indeed brainwashed, Brown said, “The problem...is us. It’s our whole way of life. It’s our comfort... It’s the greed. It’s the indulgence. It’s the pattern.
2. And it’s the inertia.”

Brown screeched in 2015 that California has an overpopulation problem, & the ongoing drought was proof that the explosion of population in California has reached the limit of what the states’ resources can provide. “We are altering this planet w/this
3. incredible power of science, technology & economic advance,” Brown told the publisher of the Los Angeles Times. “If California is going to have 50 million people, they’re not going to live the same way the native people lived, much less the way people do today…. You have to

Late last night veteran #climate journalist @Revkin asked some sharp questions about @Sierra_Magazine’s “The Case for Climate Reparations,” spurred by an appreciative post from NYC Chief Resilience Officer @dzarrilli. Here’s my response …
My essay is only concerned with climate change-related damages in the US spurred, as I argue, by US actors like the oil majors. I could’ve written about Peruvian villagers suing a German energy giant & melting glaciers in the Andes, but that’s beyond the scope of my article.
So I had to identify extreme weather events in the US. As NOAA has reported, 2017 was the most destructive year on record for “natural” disasters. See this tracker ncdc.noaa.gov/billions/summa…

Short thread.
1. I didn't realize how badly Trump has eviscerated access to federal #climate data, so I went and looked at the USGS site.
2. In December, there were 5,932 climate science items linked there (9 were just pictures). Today there are 416 and 292 are just pictures.
3. In December 2016, 320 of those items were links to #climate data. Today, 0 links to data. 5,271 were web links. Now, 0 web links.
