Just under a year after NBC turned over more than 75 hours of air time on several of their channels to Al Gore's “Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis,” Monday's NBC Nightly News championed Al Gore's “major endorsement” of Barack Obama -- as if a Democratic politician backing the Democratic nominee is newsworthy. (ABC's Jake Tapper gave the then-upcoming event a sentence while the CBS Evening News didn't mention any aspect of the presidential campaign. CNN and MSNBC covered the run-up during much of the 8 PM EDT hour and went live to Gore a little past 9:00 PM EDT. FNC showed video of Gore, but stayed with Hannity & Colmes guest Karl Rove.)
With Gore's words on screen, NBC's Lee Cowan trumpeted live from the venue in Detroit:
He says he'll do whatever he can to make sure that Barack Obama gets elected President. He announced his decision today on his blog, e-mailing a very deep list of supporters telling them to get behind this ticket both with a little elbow grease and with a little money as well. “I've never asked members of AlGore.com to contribute to a political campaign before,” he said, “but this moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.”
For network excitement over Gore getting a Nobel Prize, see my October 12 NewsBusters item: “ABC, CBS and NBC Hail 'Sweet Vindication' for Al Gore.”
My July 10 MRC CyberAlert article, “Gore Thanks NBC for 'Live Earth' Coverage, Curry Urges Him to Run,” recounted, with video (NewsBusters version by Geoffrey Dickens):
Appearing with Today news reader and Dateline anchor Ann Curry during NBC's prime time coverage Saturday of Al Gore's "Live Earth" concerts, Gore gave a shout out to the network for its donation to his global warming cause, as Gore told Curry: "Thanks for what NBC has been doing." Curry didn't exactly deliver a hard-hitting interview. When Gore declared the concerts "the largest global entertainment event in all of history," she congratulated him before pressing him about running for President, suggesting that "without you there will not be the political will in the White House to fight global warming."
She pleaded: "A lot of people want me to ask you tonight if you're running for President. And I know what you're answer is gonna be, believe me. I gotta ask you though. After fueling this grass roots movement, if you become convinced that without you there will not be the political will in the White House to fight global warming to the level that is required, because the clock is ticking, would you answer the call? Would you answer the call, yes or no?"
The story on the Monday, June 16 NBC Nightly News:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Now to presidential politics and a major endorsement for Democrat Barack Obama tonight, in addition to a big defection from a former enemy camp. Our own Lee Cowan is with us tonight from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Lee, good evening.
LEE COWAN: Good evening, Brian. This isn't all entirely unexpected, but this will be Al Gore's return to electoral politics, announcing tonight that he says he'll do whatever he can to make sure that Barack Obama gets elected President. He announced his decision today on his blog, e-mailing a very deep list of supporters telling them to get behind this ticket both with a little elbow grease and with a little money as well. [text on screen] “I've never asked members of AlGore.com to contribute to a political campaign before,” he said, “but this moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.”
Just where this is happening is important as well, Brian. It's here in Michigan. You'll remember this is where John Edwards made his big endorsement of Barack Obama, now Al Gore. That just shows how important this state is in Barack Obama's race for the White House.
One other note as you mentioned, we should point out that Clinton's former campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, she'll will now be joining the Barack Obama campaign. We're told that she'll be chief of staff for whoever the Democratic vice presidential nominee turns out to be.

I wonder why? Could be Al
June 16, 2008 - 21:25 ET by dscottI wonder why? Could be Al Gore has a financial interest in Obama keeping the AGW issue alive another couple of years???? What better way to than to make sure you financially benefit by the person who is willing to do anything you say to get elected. To top it off, two conartists team tagging the American People to make them a mark.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.
Al Gore is doing nothing
June 16, 2008 - 22:10 ET by kgAl Gore is doing nothing more than smooching Obama's butt in preparation of the vast sums of tax dollars soon to flow his way.
"Forget change, I want improvement!"
Doing Nothing? I think not!
June 16, 2008 - 22:33 ET by ambyGore is doing something more than the incredibly stupid pinheads who bitch and moan everday on Newsdusters. He has put global warming in the forefront of our thinking. Now, everyone knows that:
1) the climate is undergoing a pronounced warming trend beyond the range of natural variability;
2) the major cause of most of the observed warming is rising levels of the greenhouse gas CO2;
3) the rise in CO2 is the result of burning fossil fuels;
4) if CO2 continues to rise over the next century, the warming will continue; and
5) a climate change of the projected magnitude over this time frame
represents potential danger to human welfare and the environment.
And Al is not alone. These conclusions have been explicitly endorsed by:

Noel pretty much kicked your government-schooled ass on a regular basis. In fact, I fail to recall even one instance where you even remotely approached getting the better of him.
Give it up, will ya?

Professor Troll
June 17, 2008 - 21:59 ET by Free StinkerI can think of at least one reason The Prof returned.
He wanted to make us forget when The Prof admited that Global Warming isn't melting Glaciers Ha ha!
Didn't kick my ass
June 17, 2008 - 02:15 ET by ambyNoel never kicked my ass, since I only comment once to one of his articles. That was the one he re-wrote and kept my name on. Very ethical indeed.

Sure he did.
Now he's letting the rest of us do the same thing.

June 18, 2008 - 01:25 ET by R D HelmDude, I just wonder how many pairs of shoes Noel had to replace due to the fact that he lost so many up your.... well, you know. :-)

June 17, 2008 - 02:13 ET by ambyWouldn't know, since I have never posted to those sites. Actually, I haven't been by here in over 6 months, but I saw Al endorsing Obama on the news tonight and just knew Al would be the next lead story. You guys jump out windows every time he gets press. Very predictable. Not disappointed, I thought I'd jump in and see who reads Newsdusters these days. See if anyone takes my side like they use to. I am pleased to see it is only the loons. Nighty, night.
Welcome back, Perfessor Twit!
June 17, 2008 - 00:07 ET by R D HelmI used a different sign-on last time.

Well in that case, nice job
June 17, 2008 - 00:02 ET by SchnikeysWell in that case, nice job telling users that your post was re-written without providing the crucial bit of information that you had a different screen name.
There was no name calling directed at you in my previous post, only a suspicion that you either were not be telling the truth or that you didn't get your story straight- two perfectly legitimate suspicions. Turns out you did not adequately describe the situation of Noel allegedly editing your post, as you did not care to mention that said post was under a different screen name. That seems to fall under you witholding the truth. No insults. And referring to Noel Sheppard as "Noel Sheepdog" seems to be name-calling. But I sense that I will be wasting my time if I continue dealing with you, so all I will say is have fun on NewsBusters, and try not to let your urge to troll overtake you. But other members seem to not have any faith in that, so I'm not going to hold my breath.

Affraid to use the same sign on? Using different sign ons to pretend you're someone else?

1) the climate is undergoing a pronounced warming trend beyond the range of natural variability;
Actualy, Global warming stopped in 1998
2) the major cause of most of the observed warming is rising levels of the greenhouse gas CO2;
3) the rise in CO2 is the result of burning fossil fuels;
Carbon Dioxide accounts for about 4.2-8.4% of the greenhouse effect. Multiply that by the 3.4% of carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere annually that Humans can claim responsibility for, and you get a huge 0.2856% of global wrming that is human related.
4) if CO2 continues to rise over the next century, the warming will continue; and
See Above
5) a climate change of the projected magnitude over this time framerepresents potential danger to human welfare and the environment.
