JLF'S MARTINEZ GETS CALLED OUT FOR CLIMATE CHANGE DENIALISM DURING "FAKE NEWS" FORUM: Toward the end of the forum, an audience member suggested that journalism that simply builds a story around quotes from people with two opposing views without digging deeply into their words can result in an inaccurate report, especially when science is involved. Another audience member echoed that, and suggested stories about climate change fell into a similar category. To that, Martinez responded that the science was not clear on that issue. Audience members reacted with vocal criticism – prompting Martinez to say the reaction showed an unwillingness to listen to opposing opinions. Some in the audience then responded with another phrase that has taken off on social media during the presidency of Trump – “alternative facts,” several called out to Martinez.
