Klein blames media for false centrism on climate chaos

And she's right about its false equivalence in the name of balance.

"'There is a confirmation bias among the largest chunk of journalists out there who really pride themselves on being centrists,' Klein said Tuesday during a town hall at the Columbia Journalism School in New York. 'There's an absolute fetish for centrism, for seriousness defined by splitting the difference—and not getting too excited about anything'

"The mainstream media is 'profoundly distrustful of people who are saying actually, the house is on fire,' Klein said, citing the impulse among many journalists to remain objective and hear both sides.

"'But guess what,' said Klein. 'The house is on fire.'"
