It's a pretty long blog. What specific items in the blog are you pointing out?

He got his degree decades ago, so he's really old school, and from all reports is not very computer savvy. But he has great "telepresence" and the local viewers like, respect, and trust him.

That's the problem.

He uses his "official blog" on his television station's website to dispute global warming. He does nothing else but that. And everyone who reads his posts believe them completely.
I fail to see where the items you mention are the problem. To be 'old school," to lack computer skills, to be liked, to be respected, to be trusted, to be believed, to be focused on an issue, etc. are not necessarily faults. What exactly is the problem you are referring to?

Quote:
And the worst part? He's a Christian Fundamentalist.
Why is this the worst part? Are some points he makes influenced by his religious beliefs? Which points?

Quote:
He is so entrenched in his own personal (and party line) dogma that he will not listen to dissenting opinions.
What dissenting opinion do you feel he has ignored? Is that dissenting opinion relevant to the point(s) he makes in his blog?

I just thought the august people here would like to take this fool on.
It would be easier to take on this 'fool' if you pointed to specific statements that you consider foolish.
