He didn't shoot the messenger. He responded with amusement to srmom's statement that The Times is "hardly a Faux News" by simply noting that The Times, like Fox News, is owned by Robert Murdoch. Nothing more.

The messenger being Rupert Murdoch not Srmom. What does the fact that Murdoch owns the outlet where the info is presented have to do with whether the "scientists" falsified information? Because he owns Fox News and may not lean as far left as CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS therefore any info from outlets he owns is automatically called into question?

Nothing. Where did KSig RC say it did? Nowhere.

He did not criticize, dismiss or call into question what was in The Times article; he didn't talk about the contents of the article at all. He simply noted the humor (irony?) in srmom's statement that The Times was certainly not a Fox News, when both are owned by Murdoch. That is all.

I stand corrected. Thank you.
