half-truth in advertising
A Canadian student group got half of what it wanted when they invited Al Gore to address them at a symposium entitled: “Less Talk, More Action: A Youth Action Summit on Climate Change.”
They got less talk: ” . . . the question and answer period with Gore was cancelled.”
Fellow climate sensationalist David Suzuki also addressed the crowd with a recycled Gore refrain: “He espoused that the media should play a more central role in the way it informs the public . . . ”
The former Veep said essentially the same thing at a Tennessee University last month (where, btw, he also wouldn’t take questions). Gore argued then for another “half truth”: that the media should only tell the half of the global warming story that favors his side. (More on that earlier speech here.)
