The Sacramento Bee has a strict editorial policy. If a government program hurts you, your job or family, it is a good thing.
If the same policy hurts the phony Bee, it is a bad thing.
"Over the weekend, the Bee wrote an editorial stating a rather new position on California’s global warming law, AB 32.
After working tirelessly to help defeat Proposition 23 during the last election, the Bee made their collective editorial position quite clear. “This editorial board was an early supporter of the Global Warming Solutions Act, a conditional supporter of cap and trade and a fierce opponent of Proposition 23,” wrote the Bee. Despite Prop 23′s goal – to suspend California’s global warming laws only until the economy improves and unemployment in the state drops below 5.5 percent – the Bee hammered at the proposition."
Why the heart of editorial policy over night?
"You see, the Sacramento Bee is not just putting out a newspaper, they print it.
Ask any commercial printer just how difficult it is to meet the local and statewide air quality laws. Commercial printers have been dealing with air quality offsets for years, as well as heavy-handed air quality inspections, fees, and nasty, expensive penalties. And just as CARB is now talking about offering emission offsets and credits, the largest corporations have always bought up the air quality offsets, and then sold the over’s to smaller companies. If the goal was really clean air, offsets would never be on the table."
Like other businesses, the Bee now realizes that if AB 32 is fully implemented, it goes out of business. And who in Flagstaff, Arizona wants to read the Sacramento Bee?
Like other radicals, the Bee always expected an exemption from AB 32--so they can live while their readers die.
Not a smart editorial board--any wonder they are losing money, firing workers and not replacing those that leave? The Bee is dying--in this case, it is a suicide.
