This is has got to be the funnest video of the year! A spokesman for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce learns that a bogus press conference on climate change has been called and he rushes to interrupt it and the press wants it to continue (one guy complains that he’s on a deadline). Is it any wonder that Reuters, CNBC, the NY Times and the Washington Post, got duped? They just want the story and don’t take the time to check it out or wonder if it makes sense (come on, the Chamber of Commerce is going to approve of legislation that will bankrupt businesses? Think, MSM!)But real question is: was the WH behind the hoax?
