Twelve years after predicting an ice-free Arctic, the New York Times predicted a new ice age.

IOW, ‘we must control the narrative harder, step up the nasty labeling and censorship of our perceived enemies. We need to continue calling them fascists (Nazis), racists, and worse, etc. We must support arrest and imprisonment of our enemies.

We must become a propaganda monopoly – when we have control of all the outlets, and the news is only coming from us, then we will increase our credibility.’

or how integrous and competent you are,
as long as you don’t go along with the political narrative you’ll be wrong”
