Tyson hits a grand slam on the current Cosmos program. He presents a cogent airtight case for climate change. Now watch the vicious RW backlash.

(40,416 posts)It's the Fox entertainment division, which has nothing to do with Rupert's NewsCorp. They are different parts of a big corporation. I suspect one does not influence the other too much. After all, Cosmos is preceded by Family Guy and The Simpsons which I don't think Fox News likes too much (similarly Cosmos).
But yes, Neil deGrasse Tyson has been hitting it out of the park every week.
I love what they are doing with this series. They are taking the idiots on plein jeu, the only way to do it!

It's a shame we didn't have teachers when I was in school that could teach like he does.
