Fox network's show the Cosmos is a remarkably rational and evenhanded treatment of science issues. They have spoken favorably of evolution, talked about a "non-Biblical model" of creation, etc. I recall Fox network being home to climate change deniers, right-wing extremists, and foes of the "liberal" science community in general. Two weeks from now, the show is going to be all about climate change.
What gives? Is this a sea change on the part of the owners of Fox? Why else would they permit such progressive and liberal views to be expressed in prime-time? Does the series telegraph a conservative move to a more centrist position? Or is Fox just trying to regain a semblance of journalistic integrity?
