George Will blasted over climate editorials

From Friends of the Earth:

In late February, after George Will published an erroneous and misleading Washington Post column attempting to sow confusion about global warming science, more than 5,000 Friends of the Earth activists contacted the Post's ombudsman and demanded a correction. The paper refused to issue one, but now numerous Washington Post employees -- including some of its news reporters -- are publicly criticizing Will.

In just the last week, reporters Mary Beth Sheridan and Juliet Eilperin called Will out in a news column reporting on recent Arctic ice melts, Post "Weather Gang" writer Andrew Freedman called Will's assertions "misleading,"Post columnist Eugene Robinson criticized Will on national television, and Post cartoonist Tom Toles mocked Will in a sketch. We can only hope Will pays attention to his colleagues and stops lying about the climate crisis.

The right always claims that climate skeptics are libeled and slandered when they attempt to express an unpopular opinion. Certainly people have jumped on George Will. But are they slandering him? Or are they exposing that his writing is ill-informed and misleading?
