President Bush is headed to Europe. While there he will be subject to a continuous barrage of demonstrations and criticism for his repudiation of Kyoto. The media will be all-to-eager to report the anti-Bush demonstrations. You’ll see them on the news virtually every night during the five or so days he’s over there.
OK – that’s what you’ll see. Now for what you won’t see or hear. You won’t hear that NOT ONE of these European nations has ratified the Kyoto Treaty. It is universally repudiated. You won’t hear that the U.S. Senate sent the Kyoto Treaty packing by a unanimous vote. Not one Senator voted for it.
You'll also have read long and far to find out that some former Clintonistas -- Clinton administration officials -- are now saying that the Kyoto Treaty is flawed and that it would cost American consumers at least twice as much as the original Clinton administration estimates. For instance .... how about a 70 cents increase in the price of each gallon of gasoline?
Remember – it’s not so much what the media tells you. It’s also about what the media doesn’t tell you.
