Yes, Virginia, there is a media Bias

From Reuters today: Rising seas threaten Britain's best-loved beaches

Wow I didn’t realize that the waters surrounding Great Britain was rising! Oh that’s right they aren’t!

The “article” starts off very official like: “Some of Britain's best loved beaches and coastline, from Golden Cap in Dorset to Formby Sands in Lancashire, are under threat from erosion and flooding, the National Trust said on Tuesday.”

But then we get to the heart of the matter and the bias that has now pervaded the media: “Rising sea levels could damage hundreds of miles of the English and Welsh coast over the next 100 years, according to a study commissioned by the conservation group.”

Next 100 years?!? Can they tell me what the water levels are going to be in 5 years? 3 years? Next year?

Since they can not why are we reporting this tripe as though it is real news?

Article should have been titled “If sea levels rise, Britain’s best-loved beaches threatened: study says
