27 Feb: NYT: Trustee Who Funds Climate Change Skeptics Leaves Natural History Board
Rebekah Mercer, whose family foundation was a major Trump donor, stepped down from the museum when her term expired in December.
By Robin Pogrebin
Rebekah Mercer, an influential donor to conservative causes — including groups that deny climate science — has quietly stepped down from the American Museum of Natural History, one of the country’s most prominent science museums...
Her presence on the board prompted protests after The New York Times reported in 2017 that the Mercer Family Foundation — which Ms. Mercer operates with her father, the New York investor Robert Mercer — had given nearly $8 million to organizations including those that reject the scientific consensus on climate change. Among these beneficiaries are the Heartland Institute in Illinois and Breitbart News, the influential right-wing website that was run by Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trump’s former chief strategist.
As one of Mr. Trump’s biggest donors, Ms. Mercer joined his transition team...
In 2018 more than 200 scientists and other academics who have advocated policy action on climate change called on the museum to remove Ms. Mercer from its board and “end ties to anti-science propagandists and funders of climate science misinformation.”
Last week, the advocacy group Revolting Lesbians trumpeted Ms. Mercer’s departure on its Facebook page: “WE DID IT!” the post said. “This is a big deal because we are in a climate emergency, and a scientific institution has no place accepting money from and giving power and legitimacy to a mega-funder of climate science denial.”

Looks like Antonio Banderas in drag
She’s old.
This is why you are hated you stupid woman. You lost the whole Pillar of Democracy thing when you became propagandists instead f journalists.
The Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column.
Home Depot sells a tool that can fix our media for $14.88.
Funny, I don’t recall a fifth century BC Athens Gazette or first century Rome Times. Or fourteenth century AD Manchester Guardian. But I do recall that Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Tojo all had their favorite newspapers that are now defunct.
She has canonized herself.
Let us all raise a glass to the Fifth Estate that has decentralized the Fourth. No longer do the MSM have a monopoly on information!
So when one of them attacks a conservative news outlet?
You are assclowns.
She’s INSANE Jim.
She’s INSANE Jim.
You are the pillars of bias and propaganda.
You are the pillars of lies and ignorance.
You are the pillars of yellow journalism.
I’m sure the CCP would love to join
but I’ll trust the citizen journalist (journalist, not speculator) first before I trust MSM
Pillars of democracy and freedom huh? I was thinking they are pillars of steaming 💩
Okay, I promise to attack all of them equally to remove any ambiguity, don’t want to cause needless confusion.
Wow!Reads like satire.
