While Kurtz has been appropriately slammed for his idiotic "Hurricane of Hype", we should not overlook the salient point made by Bill McKibben, when interviewed by Brad on last Tuesday’s Malloy Show --- specifically, the failure of the MSM to discuss global climate change in relation to Hurricane Irene.

Ernie #1,

Their behavior can be traced to their mother of all propaganda, a forget-to-think-tank.

Haven't and don't read Kurtz's columns. Just cause people choose to build their houses in known paths of hurricanes and so close to the shore they're actually in the water doesn't make it Armageddon and climate change doom time.

It appears, anonymous, that you are a climate science denier in dire need of a geography lesson.

Check out the locations Brad covered in Howard Kurtz's Hurricane of Haplessness and compare them to this map.

As you can see, neither the Adirondacks nor Vermont are "in the known paths of hurricanes" or "so close to the shore they're actually in the water."
