Yes, you read that right. Thanks to Marc Morano, people on opposite sides of the climate debate are now hearing each other out. They read each other's rants, missives, spin, arguments and counter-arguments. If you think the public discussion of climate change is best served by a free flowing exchange of information and perspectives, then Morano's Climate Depot is one of your gateways, like it or not. I can hear the gagging among climate advocates right about now. So be it. To appreciate Morano's value, you have to appreciate the value of an aggregator. Remember, we all live in our own private web ghetto. As Nicholas Kristof noted in a March column:
When we go online, each of us is our own editor, our own gatekeeper. We select the kind of news and opinions that we care most about.
I think Kristof makes a mistake in lumping "news and opinion" ...
