This movie was a starting point into the World of X for me. I never actually enjoyed it but I was intrigued enough to go on and watch the immensely more satisfying series a short time after. I don't know if what the movie aims to achieve is to get people interested in the story and go on to read the manga (a device employed by many franchises including Fake) or to convince an anime company that they had enough material for a series; but on that front it works well.
As a movie though, it is an incoherent and confusing work with great visuals. Sadly, it tries too hard to include so much within its timeframe and as a result, not enough time is given to characters to grow or for the story to flow at a proper pace. Depending on your tolerance of style over substance, this movie will be a good way to get to know the X franchise or a waste of time.
The animation as I mentioned before is excellent. For its time, it IS breathtaking, probably the best looking movie of 1996. The Art captures the gloomy atmosphere of the "End of the World" exceedingly well and the character design and costumes are drawn with the right amount of detail to make it look VERY accomplished on the ART front.
The animation is also a work of wonder with an impeccable framerate for its time. The action scenes are the best example of this as you can feel the force of the characters' moves against each other. Another area which is done this well is with the crumbling buildings. The detail on those scenes will have you looking at it in awe.
The sound complements those scenes very well. The background music is very suited to the scenes on offer here and the sound effects have just the right "oompf" to make this work come to life. Sadly although these tunes are well suited to the movie, they are average when listened to on their own with only one vocal track worth a second listen.
The voice actors are good for this overall, with Kamui's and Fuuma's seiyuus the strongest overall. They have just the maturity to portray these two characters versatily.
The story is where things get uneven. CLAMP made a big mistake in trying to encompass the WHOLE of X in one movie. I mean this franchise has 15 IMPORTANT AND MAIN characters in the manga series so there is no way they can be done justice in this timeframe. Add the very slow start to this and the pacing definitely leaves a lot to be desired.
The story centres on Kamui and on his choice to join the Dragons of Heaven (wanting to preserve Earth) and the Dragons of Earth (wanting to destroy it). Just this alone would have been enough to fill this movie with content if the right pacing was employed.
As it is you get Kamui making his decision within the first 20 minutes in an attempt to recover his childhood friends. Not enough time is spent on important situations like this throughout and it leaves the movie feeling forced and shallow in its delivery (the Escaflowne and Rahxephon movie also suffer from this as they also try to include too much).
The main players are downsized from 15 to 2 in this as the story revolves more about Kamui and Fuuma with all other characters making only cameo appearances. However, 13 cameos is a lot and the time spent on Kamui and Fuuma is still not nearly enough.
As it is you are introduced to the characters and can decide which ones would be cool in a TV series and which one your favourite would be then, since there is no way they would be so under developed there. And you would be right with that assumption. This movie only serves to INTRODUCE you to them, none of them gets enough development to be more than cardboard cutouts.
As a result, this movie ends up being the worst outing of the X franchise. This just goes to show why its fans rarely even mention it. I would just like to ask you not to judge the whole X franchise based on this movie. The TV series and the manga have a lot more to offer.
Although I have appreciation for the ART I must say that the creators' choice of style over substance really does not work here. A better story with developed characters would have made this a gem of animation as it has the right ingredients but wastes it all on the wrong recipe. If you can appreciate some eye candy without much of anything else, then you will get some enjoyment from this. I mean, even I finished it...

This brilliant teacher taught his students how to play Quiddich
Anshu Agarwal, a born photographer, has recently shared photos that show children from the remote Indian village of Uttarakhand playing Quidditch — a wizarding sport in the Harry Potter universe.
The kindness and talent that this guy has shown delighted us here at Bright Side. And to be honest, we're a little envious of his students.
Kalap is a village 130 miles (210 kilometers) away from the nearest railway station of Dehradun in Northern India. Working temporarily in all-age school, Anshu Agarwal teaches the children about literature and English-speaking films.
"I show the children Harry Potter movies on Sundays. They immediately began to dream of being witches and wizards themselves," Anshu Agarwal says.
Levitation photography has long interested Anshu, and that's why he came up with the idea of recreating the game of Quidditch using his camera.
"When I told my students that I could give them some flying lessons, they were so excited that they literally dragged me into the field. During the four days the shoot took, the students repeatedly jumped from wooden platforms until we collected enough material for the photos."
"The shoot was quite difficult, but when my students saw the photos, they squealed with delight."
"I was so happy and proud that I could bring a little bit of magic into their lives. These feelings are beyond words."
Anshu Agarwal

Youth ministry: A calling well worth it
by John Hall on October 23, 2013 in share
ARLINGTON – Youth ministry isn't easy. It requires long hours, unending energy, incredible patience and deep commitment.
That's precisely why it requires a calling from God. No matter the trials those who minister to youth face, they must continue, said speakers during Texas Baptists' Conclave, made possible by gifts to missions through the Texas Baptist Cooperative Program.
"Our business is kingdom business, and our gaze should always point true north," said Mike Satterfield, teaching pastor of Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington.

DALLAS – Texas Baptists are turning to students to help communities "bounce" back after disasters.
This fall, the convention is launching Bounce, a pre-packaged missions experience through which students minister in the wake of disasters. Bounce makes taking youth teams on mission easy, working out logistics for leaders such as where a group will stay, what they will eat and what they will do on mission.

DALLAS – The world is coming to Texas, landing at the airport with a single bag.
Texas is the leading point of arrival for refugees, who often land with all of their belongings in an issued bag. With this small cache of items, a family will begin a new life in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar customs.

Fight rages beyond battlefield; chaplains on frontline

WAXAHACHIE – Military personnel's fight rages well beyond the battlefield, and chaplains are on the frontlines.
In 2012, military suicides hit a record high since the armed forces began tracking such tragedies. Self-inflicted military deaths outnumbered deaths that took place in combat. The rate is down slightly in 2013 – 161 potential suicides happened this year – but a military suicide takes places about every 18 hours.

The budget reflects essentially flat church giving through the convention's Cooperative Program, $2.29 million in investment income and $1 million less to be raised by the Texas Baptist Missions Foundation.
Total Cooperative Program from Texas Baptists for 2014 is forecast to be $48.95 million, including $11.3 million to the Southern Baptist Convention, $1.0 million to Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and $1.8 million for/p>/p>/p>... [continue]
'The Art of Black Preaching'
by John Hall on September 25, 2013 in news
SAN ANTONIO – The energetic call and response style of African American preaching garners the attention of those who have witnessed its finest practitioners.
But "the art of Black Preaching" is found in the heart of its message: transformation is possible through Christ.
Pastors call African American churches to cling faithfully to Christ, no matter how difficult circumstances become, Kinney said. Historically, African American preachers have done this well through trials and struggles.

Voting starts in March for the Drupal Association Board election.
The most important aspect of this release is that Views should now be PHP 5.3 compatible, and the grouping features should finally really be fixed.
As of now, Views 2 will be accepting fewer and fewer patches that qualify as new features, as work on Views 3 is proceeding at a good pace. New features should, unless they are really important for some reason or other, be moved to Views 3 which should be expected to go beta sometime in the spring.
Bug fixes
Tagging an alpha release of 3.0 -- this release exists mostly because 3.0 is about to get a lot less stable, and I know people are using it for the query backend stuff. This gives a relatively stable point to work from without getting nastily hung up on some of the new features that are going in.
Note: Views 2.7 contains some rearrangment of the order of field rendering. While I didn't see any errors or hear of any errors due to this, it may affect some external style plugins. If you have a problem with how fields render and are using a non Views-core style, please doublecheck with the 'table' or 'unformatted' styles and see if the problem persists. If it does not, it may well be the style provided by a module.
-dev branch for Views 3 for Drupal 7. Use at your own risk.
The 3.x dev release is currently a working branch for larger scale new features while the 2.x branch is now staying with only stable changes and minor new features.
Bugs fixed:
Other changes:
Bugs fixed
This release fixes a security issue. See SA-2008-075 - Views - SQL Injection for details.
Unfortunately necessary bug fix release to remove debug code I accidentally committed just prior to releasing 2.0.
Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0:
At long last, Views 2.0 is finally here. Not quite every bug has been wrung out of the system. There are some known issues with Postgres. The upgrade path from Views 1 to Views 2 is rather painful.
Please see the advanced help documentation for instructions and tutorials. For your convenience, the most current advanced help documentation is always mirrored here: http://views-help.doc.logrus.com
More bug fixes from RC4; please remember that if you're upgrading from prior to RC2, some modules may stop working! Please read the RC2 release notes for details.
Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-RC4:
This is hopefully the final release candidate for Views 2.0
Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-RC3:
This release fixes a couple of critical bugs in RC2.
Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-RC2:
This release is primarily a large number of bug fixes. Please note that one fix required an API CHANGE. This change affects all modules that use the Views API and those modules will likely cease to function.
Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-RC1:
This is the last beta release. Depending on the number of new bug reports generated, the first RC should be just around the corner.
There is still a bug in Drupal core to do with view-specific themes. See http://drupal.org/node/241570 for more information.

Thanks all for the feedback. The reason why I ask for some break is that one time I went with no break and noticed that the bottom of my pants were rocking back and forth and felt like...I was wearing the Three Stooges' pants.
I will need to get that tie next time, looks very nice estitchy!
Stitch... Brown trousers! Mah man!
I am having a real hard time looking for a green tie like Stiches'
Nice tie and looking good as usual
Just ask him where he got it. A caveat: The last time I asked him about a tie he nearly twisted my arm until I bought it.

On MSNBC, Laverne Cox Explains The Human Reality Of Trump's Rescinding Of Trans-Inclusive Policies

In the five weeks before the November 8 presidential election, evening cable and broadcast news, major newspapers, and the Sunday morning broadcast network political talk shows combined to flood the media landscape with coverage of hacked emails released by Wikileaks, according to an analysis by Media Matters.
After its July release of emails that were stolen from the Democratic National Committee, Wikileaks released a daily stream of hacked emails from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta starting in early October.
Between October 4 and November 8, weekday evening cable news aired a combined 247 segments either about the emails or featuring significant discussion of them; evening broadcast news and the Sunday morning broadcast network political talk shows aired a combined 25 segments; and five of the country's most-circulated daily newspapers -- Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post -- published a combined 96 articles about the emails released by Wikileaks in their print editions.
Following Donald Trump's presidential victory, the U.S. intelligence community released a report with its assessment that "Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election." The assessment, which represents the view of the 16 federal intelligence agencies, concluded "with high confidence" that as part of this effort, "Russian military intelligence (General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate or GRU) used the Guccifer 2.0 persona and DCLeaks.com to release US victim data obtained in cyber operations publicly and in exclusives to media outlets and relayed material to WikiLeaks."
In response to mounting evidence that Russia sought to swing the election in Trump's favor, in part through allegedly releasing hacked emails through channels like Wikileaks, Trump and his allies have in recent months downplayed the impact of the hacks. Trump, who has repeatedly sought to de-emphasize Russia's alleged role in the election-related hacking to begin with, has also argued that the hacks had "absolutely no effect on the outcome" of the election. As ThinkProgress noted, "This was not the view of candidate Trump, who talked about Wikileaks and the content of the emails it released at least 164 times in last month of the campaign."
And Trump wasn't alone.
Media Matters' review shows that news media treated the emails released by Wikileaks a major news story in the lead-up to the election. (It's important to note that this is only a quantitative study; Media Matters did not attempt to assess the quality of articles and news segments about the hacked emails. A segment or article criticizing coverage of the emails or highlighting suspicions about Russia's potential involvement was counted the same as a segment or article breathlessly promoting the contents of the hacked emails.)
Data-driven news site Fivethirtyeight.com determined that the hacked emails released by Wikileaks were "almost exclusively an October story. Over 72 percent of people who searched for Wikileaks from June onward did so during October or the first week of November. Interest really got going with [Wikileaks Editor-in-Chief] Julian Assange's press conference on Oct. 4." We reviewed transcripts and articles beginning on October 4, when Assange first announced during a press conference that Wikileaks would release additional information pertaining to the election, through November 8, Election Day.
Evening cable news -- defined as shows airing weekdays from 5 p.m. through 11 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC -- devoted massive coverage to the Wikileaks story, with Fox leading the way. In total, Fox News aired 173 segments over the course of the period studied. Fox also aired teasers 64 times to keep audiences hooked throughout broadcasts. The hacked emails were also mentioned in passing by a guest, correspondent, or host 137 times during additional segments about other topics.
Fox's coverage was a near-daily obsession for its evening news hosts. Four of the six programs in the study ran at least one segment every weekday or nearly every weekday between October 7 and November 7. Special Report with Bret Baier ran segments every weekday between October 7 and November 4; On the Record with Brit Hume ran segments every weekday between October 7 and November 7; The Kelly File ran segments on all but four weekdays between October 7 and November 7 (and on those four days, Wikileaks was still mentioned in passing at least once); and Hannity ran segments nearly every weekday between October 7 and November 7 (excluding October 10 and 20, the latter of which featured at least one mention of the story).
CNN aired the second most Wikileaks coverage, with 57 segments teased to audiences 21 times and an additional 75 mentions during segments about other topics. MSNBC aired only 17 segments teased six times and tallied 23 mentions during additional segments. (MSNBC's 6 p.m. hour, which at the time aired With All Due Respect, was not available in Nexis and was therefore excluded from this analysis).
On broadcast network news, the numbers are smaller, but over the course of the period studied, the networks each aired a significant number of segments on their evening news programs and Sunday morning political talk shows. ABC programs World News Tonight and This Week with George Stephanopoulos devoted the most coverage to the Wikileaks emails, with 10 segments and five mentions during additional segments combined. CBS' Evening News and Face the Nation with John Dickerson followed, with nine segments and three mentions during additional segments combined. NBC's Nightly News and Meet the Press with Chuck Todd aired just six segments and 12 mentions during additional segments combined.
The five major newspapers we studied each published numerous articles in their print editions (we did not include online coverage) about the Wikileaks emails in the month before the election, but three stood out from the rest. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal each published 27 articles about the emails and mentioned them in 26 and 10 other articles, respectively. The Washington Post was the third paper in this group with 26 articles about the Wikileaks emails published and mentions in 14 additional articles.
USA Today published 11 articles about the Wikileaks emails and mentioned them in three other articles while Los Angeles Times ran just five stories and mentioned the Wikileaks emails in only seven other articles.
As was the case with Trump, conservative media figures who hyped and encouraged reporting on hacked emails quickly adjusted their views on the significance of the hacked emails during the presidential transition period. After touting the release of the stolen emails, credulously reporting on numerous illegally obtained emails published by Wikileaks, encouraging Trump to "just read" the stolen emails at campaign rallies, advising Trump to "study[] Wikileaks," and repeatedly providing a platform for Assange to promote the publication of the stolen emails, right-wing media figures downplayed the influence the disclosure of the emails had on the 2016 campaign. Taking the lead from Trump's transition team, some right-wing media figures then argued that "no one can articulate or specify in any way that" the publication of the private emails "affected the outcome of our election."
Although right-wing media figures have claimed that there is "no indication that" the publication of the private emails "affected the election," the breathless reporting on the contents of the Wikileaks disclosures by media outlets played into the hands of the Russian government's "influence efforts to … amplif[y] stories on scandals about Secretary Clinton and the role of Wikileaks in the election campaign," according to the intelligence community's report. Days after the first trove of private emails was published by Wikileaks, a group of former top national security officials and outside experts warned "the press … to be cautious in the use of allegedly 'leaked' information," which "follows a well-known Russian playbook."
The Washington Post's Anne Applebaum summarized the strategy in an interview with Slate months before the first disclosure of Podesta's personal emails:
I didn't think about the United States because I thought the United States is too big, American politics isn't moved by these smaller amounts of money the way that Czech politics are or Polish politics are. But I hadn't thought through the idea that of course through hacking, which is something they're famously very good at, that they could try and disrupt a campaign. And of course the pattern of this is something we've seen before: There's a big leak, it's right on an important political moment, it affects the way people think about the campaign, and of course instead of focusing on who did the leak and who's interest it's in, everyone focuses on the details, what's in the emails, what did so-and-so write to so-and-so on Dec. 27, and that's all that gets reported.
The press could have seen this coming. On the August 24, 2016, edition of The Kelly File, then-Fox News host Megyn Kelly interviewed Wikileaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange, who used the platform to hype the "material" Wikileaks planned to publish, and announced it would be released in "several batches." Kelly asked Assange if he thought the information in his "possession could be a game changer in the US election." Assange said the effectiveness of the release "depends on how it catches fire in the public and in the media."
Media Matters reviewed the Nexis database for news transcripts and articles that mentioned Julian Assange or Wikileaks approximately within the same paragraph as variations on any of the following terms: Hillary Clinton, Democratic National Committee, DNC, or John Podesta. We included cable news networks' weekday evening programming (5:00 p.m. through 11:00 p.m.) on CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC; the evening news shows (ABC's World News Tonight, CBS' Evening News, and NBC's Nightly News) and Sunday morning political talk shows (ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, CBS' Face the Nation with John Dickerson, and NBC's Meet the Press with Chuck Todd) on ABC, CBS, and NBC; and five of the most-circulated daily print newspapers: Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. (MSNBC's 6:00 p.m. hour, which hosted With All Due Respect was not available in Nexis and was therefore excluded from the analysis).
Data-driven news analysis website Fivethrityeight.com determined the hacked emails released by Wikileaks "was almost exclusively an October story. Over 72 percent of people who searched for Wikileaks from June onward did so during October or the first week of November. Interest really got going with Julian Assange's press conference on Oct. 4." Therefore, we reviewed articles beginning on October 4, 2016, when Assange first announced during a press conference that Wikileaks would release additional information pertaining to the election, through November 8, 2016, Election Day.
For television, we coded as "segments" news segments where the hacked emails released by Wikileaks were the stated topic of discussion, and we also coded as "segments" when signification discussion about the hacked emails from Wikileaks occurred during segments with a different initially stated topic or during multi-topic segments. We defined significant discussion as at least two or more speakers discussing the hacked emails to one another during the course of the segment. We determined the start of a segment to be when the show's host introduced either the topic or guests and determined the end of a segment to be when the show's host concluded discussion or bid farewell to the show's guests.
We coded as "mentions" comments made by a speaker about the hacked emails without any other speaker in the segment engaging. We coded as "teasers" introductions by the host of upcoming segments on the hacked emails where the segment in question did not immediately follow.
For print, we coded as "articles" news stories and opinion pieces where the hacked emails were mentioned in the headline or the lead of the story or article. If the hacked emails were used as a piece of evidence within a larger story or used to provide context, those were coded as "mentions within an article."
NBC and MSNBC figures have adopted misleading language also used by President-elect Donald Trump and his advisors to criticize and dismiss claims that Russia may have compromising information on the president-elect. A statement released by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed that Trump was briefed on the allegations, which the intelligence community has not yet verified or discredited.
2016 was a red letter year for xenophobia and misinformation. From smears about Muslims to hostility over LGBT rights, media have had to push back against a torrent of lies and distortion. Here are 12 times the media rebuffed right-wing lies and deceit.
The New York Times' Amy Chozick argued that President-elect Donald Trump should be given credit for using Twitter as he continues to avoid the press, normalizing his tweets as "refreshing" and ignoring the fact that Trump's tweets have dangerously breached international precedent, swung stock prices, and promoted neo-Nazis, among other embarrassments.
On the December 27 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Chozick joined a panel with Azi Paybarah of Politico and Caitlin Huey-Burns of Real Clear Politics to discuss Trump's recent Twitter use. Chozick conceded that a president-elect should explain his policy positions in "more than 140 characters," but still argued Trump deserves "a little bit of credit" for using Twitter to speak to his supporters because, according to her, President Barack Obama struggled to speak to his supporters early in his presidency.
Chozick went on to compare Trump's reckless and amateurish approach to presidential communications with Obama's, who she criticized as being "more thoughtful and careful about everything," seeming to consider Obama's approach a negative characteristic in a president. As for Trump, she described his Twitter use as "refreshing."
But Trump's temperamental outbursts in 140 characters or less are far from praiseworthy by any reasonable standard and should not be a form of presidential communication or policy-making indulged -- or normalized -- by the press as Chozick suggested.
As Greg Sargent explained in The Washington Post, arms control experts noted that Trump could exacerbate nuclear tensions in an international crisis if his tweets are interpreted incorrectly, such as when he recently tweeted that he wanted to "greatly strengthen and expand" the United States' "nuclear capability." Trump has already caused a serious strain in the U.S. relationship with one major nuclear power -- China -- after he bizarrely tweeted that he took an unprecedented call from the Taiwanese President (followed by several tweets attacking China).
Trump has also used Twitter to bully American companies and citizens into submitting to his poorly reasoned demands and embracing his falsehoods. Trump sent the stocks of Lockheed Martin and Boeing into a freefall at various times earlier this month when he tweeted that he was going to cancel Boeing's contract for the new Air Force One over cost and, later, Lockheed Martin's over the cost of the F-35 fighter jet. In addition, after Trump falsely claimed he was saving 1,100 jobs at a Carrier factory in Indiana, he used his account to attack Chuck Jones, a union boss at the Carrier plant who pointed out that many people were still losing their jobs, prompting many Trump supporters to send death threats to Jones and his family.
Trump has also outrageously used Twitter to mainstream dangerous hate and bigotry by consistently retweeting white nationalist and "alt-right" Twitter accounts. During his campaign, Trump retweeted several neo-Nazi and white nationalist sympathizing twitter accounts, including one with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM, which according to ThinkProgress, "tweets obsessively about white women allegedly being raped by various minority groups."
Chozick's defense of Trump is another example of how media figures are normalizing Trump's hostility toward and complete disregard for the press. Time and again since the election, Trump has broken serious norms, with members of the press enabling his behavior by sanitizing his ties to extremists, echoing his lies, and whitewashing his comments.
Watch the full segment below:
When President-elect Donald Trump made seemingly open-minded remarks about climate change during a November 22 meeting with staff of The New York Times, it set off a wave of television coverage about how Trump had supposedly "reversed course" on climate change. But few of these reports addressed any of the substantive reasons that is highly unlikely, such as his transition team's plan to abandon the Obama administration's landmark climate policy, indications that he will dismantle NASA's climate research program, and his appointment of fossil fuel industry allies as transition team advisers -- not to mention the full context of Trump's remarks to the Times.
In his interview with reporters, editors and opinion columnists from the Times, Trump contradicted his long-held stance that climate change is a "hoax" by stating that he thinks "there is some connectivity" between human activities and climate change (although even that statement doesn't fully reflect the consensus view of climate scientists that human activities are the "dominant cause" of global warming). Trump also declined to reaffirm his earlier statements that he would "renegotiate" or "cancel" the international climate agreement reached in Paris last year, instead saying that he has an "open mind" about how he will approach the Paris agreement.
But there are many reasons to take these comments with a grain of salt. For one, Trump has given no indication that he will preserve the EPA's Clean Power Plan, which is the linchpin of the United States' emissions reduction commitments under the Paris climate agreement. To the contrary, The Associated Press reported that internal documents from Trump's transition team "show the new administration plans to stop defending the Clean Power Plan and other recent Obama-era environmental regulations that have been the subject of long-running legal challenges filed by Republican-led states and the fossil fuel industry." Moreover, a senior Trump space policy adviser recently indicated that the Trump administration plans to eliminate NASA's climate change research program, a move that would likely be accompanied by significant funding cuts to climate research.
Additionally, Trump has appointed Myron Ebell, a climate science denier from the fossil fuel-funded Competitive Enterprise Institute, to lead his EPA transition team, and two other close allies of the fossil fuel industry, Kathleen Hartnett White and Scott Pruitt, are reportedly Trump's leading contenders to run the EPA. Trump also named Thomas Pyle, president of the fossil fuel-funded American Energy Alliance, to head his Energy Department transition team. According to The Washington Post, "Hartnett-White, Pyle and Ebell have all expressed doubt about climate change and have criticized the findings of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."
Then there are Trump's Times comments themselves, which have been "wildly misinterpreted" in the media, as Grist's Rebecca Leber has explained. In addition to saying there is "some connectivity" between human activities and climate change, Trump said during the Times interview that there are "a lot of smart people" on the "other side" of the issue, and added: "You know the hottest day ever was in 1890-something, 98. You know, you can make lots of cases for different views." Trump also appeared to reference the thoroughly debunked "Climategate" scandal about emails among climate scientists at a U.K. university, stating, "They say they have science on one side but then they also have those horrible emails that were sent between the scientists."
Nonetheless, Trump's two seemingly climate-friendly remarks to the Times -- that he has an "open mind" about the Paris climate agreement and that humans play some role in climate change -- generated a tremendous amount of uncritical television coverage:
Trump's climate remarks also received wall-to-wall coverage on cable news, although unlike the broadcast networks' reports, several of the cable segments did feature pushback on the notion that Trump had actually changed his position on the issue.
Trump's climate comments were uncritically covered on several CNN programs, including New Day, Anderson Cooper 360, and CNN Tonight with Don Lemon. And on the November 27 edition of Inside Politics, host John King and senior political reporter Manu Raju agreed that Trump's climate remarks were a "big deal." Some of these programs included speculation about whether Trump truly meant what he said to the Times or whether it was a negotiating ploy, but none mentioned any specific steps Trump has taken since the election that undermine claims that he has reversed course on climate change.
By contrast, several other CNN programs included pushback on the notion that Trump had "softened" or "reversed" his position on climate change. For instance, on the November 23 edition of Erin Burnett Outfront, CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein cited Trump's plan to repeal the Clean Power Plan as evidence that although Trump is "signaling a different tone" on climate change, "when you get into the guts of the policy, he is going in the same direction":
Brownstein made the same point during appearances on the November 22 edition of CNN's The Situation Room and the November 27 edition of CNN Newsroom.
Similarly, in an interview with NextGen Climate founder Tom Steyer on the November 27 edition of Fareed Zakaria GPS, host Zakaria noted that despite his comments to the Times, Trump "still has a leading climate change denier [Myron Ebell] as the head of his EPA transition, [and] his actions and contradictory words have climate change activists concerned." Zakaria added that Trump "does say he's going to reverse a lot of these executive actions that Obama has taken, whether it's on coal-fired plants or vehicle emissions."
A couple of CNN guests also challenged the premise that Trump had shifted his stance on climate change. On the November 22 edition of CNN's Wolf, Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) said of Trump's climate remarks to the Times, "The real test is who is he appointing and what will his policies be." And on the November 23 edition of CNN's At This Hour, Michael Needham of Heritage Action for America (the sister organization of the fossil fuel industry-funded Heritage Foundation), pointed to other remarks Trump made to the Times in order to dispute the idea that Trump had accepted that climate change is "settled science." Needham stated:
I read the actual transcript of this thing. If you look at what [Trump] says on climate change, it's pretty much what we would have said at Heritage. He said there are questions that need to be looked at, there's research on both sides of the issue, this is not settled science the way some people on the left want to say.
Finally, all of the prime-time MSNBC shows that featured substantial discussions of Trump's climate remarks included proper context. For instance, on the December 2 edition of MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes, Hayes explained that incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus had "clarif[ied]" that Trump's "default position" on climate change is "that most of it is a bunch of bunk." Hayes also explained that a senior Trump adviser had indicated that "NASA would be limited to exploring other planets rather than providing satellite information and data about what's happening on the only planet we currently inhabit":
Similarly, on the November 30 edition of Hardball with Chris Matthews, Matthews aired a clip of Priebus confirming that Trump's "default position" on climate change is that "most of it is a bunch of bunk." And on the November 22 edition of MTP Daily, guest host Andrea Mitchell pointed out that Trump "appointed somebody from a very conservative, climate-denying, Koch-sponsored organization, policy institute, to lead the transition on energy and climate issues," although Mitchell nonetheless maintained that Trump's statement that he is now open to the Paris climate agreement was "a very big signal internationally."

A recent Media Matters analysis found an overall lack of substantial discussions about college affordability issues on evening cable news programs. Notably, nearly a quarter of the total time spent discussing topics related to college affordability across all three major cable networks over the course of a year came from MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews. Hardball's discussions about topics such as rising college costs and student debt burdens illustrate what may have been the driving force for a vast majority of the limited conversations the study found across all networks -- a tie-in with the current presidential election.
In a recent study, Media Matters analyzed a year of evening cable news programming on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC and found that, together, all three networks devoted just under 2 hours and 22 minutes in 56 segments, in total, to discussing college affordability issues over the course of the year. Fox News' and MSNBC's evening news programs each spent a little under an hour discussing these topics (24 and 23 segments, respectively), and CNN devoted just under 35 minutes, or nine segments.
MSNBC's Hardball single-handedly accounted for just over a quarter of the total number of qualifying segments in this study and nearly half an hour of total discussion time.
Why did Hardball account for such a large proportion of the total substantial discussion in Media Matters' analysis? One finding suggests it was an election-year phenomenon: All 15 of the Hardball segments included in the study feature at least one guest discussing a specific presidential candidate's record, stances, or policy proposals related to college affordability. Although host Chris Matthews' questions or assertions about candidates' stances often only grazed the surface, they show that cable news programs are capable of providing more in-depth coverage on college affordability when the interests of the host, guests, and the public converge.
In many of these segments, Matthews introduced the topic by asking guests -- often strategists or campaign surrogates -- to explain higher education policy differences between the two then-Democratic presidential hopefuls: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Discussions of these differences frequently focused on political strategy and voter appeal as much as on the details of the proposals.
Though many of these exchanges were brief or limited in scope, Matthews' questions about Sanders' and/or Clinton's policy proposals demonstrate that evening cable news has the capacity to provide detailed, policy-focused discussions under the right circumstances: when guests are eager to talk about the issue, hosts are prepared to ask questions, and viewers have demonstrated a desire for more information.
The presidential race appears to have dictated these particular circumstances for the year studied. In fact, the majority of qualifying guests on each of the three cable networks specifically talked about at least one presidential candidate's record or views on a college affordability issue -- or they were themselves a candidate at the time of their appearance.
When considering only those guests who spoke substantially about college affordability topics (many guests were participants in multitopic discussions, but did not speak specifically about college affordability), that number jumps even higher. Nearly 90 percent of guests who discussed college costs, student loans, or impacts of the national student debt burden also mentioned a specific presidential candidate's record or stances on these issues.
With so many of the college affordability discussions on evening cable news closely tied to the presidential election, it's unclear what will happen to those (already limited) conversations after November.

To Limit Abortion Access, Trump's Campaign Manager Has Long Promoted The Dangerous Lie That Democrats Support "Sex-Selective" Abortion
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, has a long history of alleging that the Democratic Party supports allowing so-called "sex-selective" abortions because it devalues "little baby girls." During the 2016 election cycle, Conway has frequently promoted this misleading and unsubstantiated right-wing media myth, which perpetuates harmful racial and ethnic stereotypes and is a cover for greater abortion restrictions.
When media report on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's latest attacks on former President Bill Clinton's history with women and Hillary Clinton's responses to those women, they should also mention the immense hypocrisy of Trump levying those claims. Trump and several of his closest advisers have long histories of infidelity, workplace sexual harassment, and misogyny. And Trump himself previously said both that Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky was "totally unimportant" and that people would have been more "forgiving" if Clinton had a relationship "with a really beautiful woman."
