Just because the press can have an adverse effect on certain portions of a war, does not mean that we should reverse course and have a state controlled media. Similarlly, just because science has shown global warming to be an issue does not mean that we have to take governmental action at this time. In my "idiotic" opinion the only dumb position to take is to either ignore the press can be used in a war, or ignore the data that suggest global warming. In both cases ignoring these concepts is done simply because one doesn't like the potential political outcome. This is a good point.
