grammarmancer: aqueerkettleofish: This is propaganda. You think it’s about this courageous woman? It’s not. It’s about trashing Al Gore. As near as I can tell, everything about Irena is accurate, except for the statement “In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.” I mean, it’s possible she was, but the Nobel Committee doesn’t reveal that information. And Al Gore did not win for a slide show. To quote the Nobel Committee themselves: The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 was awarded jointly to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. “for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.” This is what propaganda is. It’s not always big lies. Sometimes it’s little lies hidden in with truth. Sometimes it’s 100% truth, but presented in such a way, or in such a place, as to damage a cause. Using a woman who saved Jewish children to attack someone who brought attention to climate change is pretty vile. -- source link
