As Paul Krugman said, if GW Bush said, "The world is flat," the next day the headlines would read, "Opinions differ on shape of earth." I wish the newspapers would "get it," already. I don't understand why NYT reporters go to the CEI, or why their editors let quotes from them into print. The CEI is no more credible than the flat-earthers, and I don't see why any publication which wants to claim intellectual respectability gives them any more ink than the flat-earthers.
