John Stossel's attempt to bluff on some bad bets in climate science has been raised and called by Prometheus
Actually the idiom is "called and raised", not the other way around.
Now in the 21st century we tend to just say "raise", but that doesn't read as nicely.

Stossel's merits are his weaknesses.
He will challenge any view point or lobby. And in the MSM this is risky. I am surprised he is still working there.
He sometimes goes too far. He is not interested in a balanced program. That is not always bad but in assessing GW it is not good.
