A survey in the United States measures a bias that's surely even worse
in Australia:

The Business & Media Institute analyzed 205 network news stories about
"global warming" or "climate change" between July 1, 2007, and Dec. 31,
2007. BMI found a meager 20 percent of stories even mentioned there were
any alternative opinions to the so-called "consensus" on the issue.



You know, they don't give much exposure to those claiming the earth is
6000 years old either! How biased!

. Disagreement Squashed: Global warming proponents overwhelmingly
outnumbered those with dissenting opinions.

Yeah, about 100:1 in scientific journals.

On average for every skeptic
there were nearly 13 proponents featured. ABC did a slightly better job
with a 7-to-1 ratio, while CBS's ratio was abysmal at nearly 38-to-1.


So considering the proportions in scientific journals, the denialists
are being given too big a voice.
