Here’s something a little more light for a Friday afternoon, but demonstrates the mainstream media’s biased view of the world.
Among the "Quick Hits" on CNN’s "American Morning" on Friday was a brief on how the drought in the Southeast is affecting the production of Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee. The water levels in the cave spring that supplies the Jack Daniels distillery are "dangerously low" according to the brief by co-host John Roberts.
After giving the brief, Roberts and substitute weather forecaster Reynolds Wolf began the weather report with the following exchange:
Video (0:25): Real (694 kB) or Windows (783 kB), plus MP3 audio (127 kB).
JOHN ROBERTS: "Reynolds Wolf is here with a look at the weather forecast, and somebody said to me this morning that that will get Southern conservatives interested in global warming." (Laughs)
REYNOLDS WOLF: "There's no question about it. Absolutely."
I guess the "secret" is out that left-wing media thinks that Southerners are a bunch of hillbilly drunks, and don’t care about climate change like "enlightened" liberals do.

Hey John Roberts you self righteous high falutin better-n-you jerk. I've lived in Tennessee all my life. In fact I grew up about 10 miles from the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg and know alot of the people that work there. And it's not that we're not interested in global warming, it just goes by another name down here. SUMMER!

June 15, 2007 - 16:44 ET by TruthMongerJack Daniels is supposed to be made in a "dry" county anyway! (rimshot)
I'll tell you what'll get "Southern Conservatives" interested in GW - once they understand that it will directly lead to the deaths of libs like Roberts via drowning or food shortage or heat...
It's them e-lite city folk that needa worry about globall woremin' - country folks'll be just fine:)...

June 15, 2007 - 16:50 ET by Cool ArrowI'd be more concerned about the corn shortage created by the GW panic. Pouring the world's food and spirits into our gas tanks.

Trying to decide whether to put a kerchief on my neck so it don't get too red.
Ol' blue (mean old dawg, won't stay under the front porch) is a pantin' like crazy down here. Dry, bone dry, it's all I can do to keep the jug cool.
"Hey, ma, where's my ice?"
Been callin' for that ice since morning time.
Anyway, this here draught is petty much killin' the cottin'.
Just a quick weather report. That there Global Warmin' thingy is probably to blame. Need us a great big ol' firetruck to put out the sun, that's what we need down here.
Y'all.

This is not "light"
June 15, 2007 - 15:33 ET by EdhenryThis is not "light". This one line packs in so much of MSM bias, bigotry and ignorance.
The response by the co-host: Reflexive, weak, co-dependent, snide, bigoted, elitist and of course adheres on leftist, unproven, agenda.

June 15, 2007 - 15:45 ET by sarcasmoWell, we all know the TV news business is just chock-full of teetotalers...(And they somehow manage to wonder why people like me assume pro-big-government bias from the outset, until proven otherwise!)

June 16, 2007 - 07:12 ET by sarcasmoMeh. Why pick-on fictional news characters when the news media gives us David Gregory on a silver platter? (NB's crappy search function refuses to let me find it at the moment, but there was an entire node on the subject, complete with drunken-sounding audio, at least a year back.)

June 15, 2007 - 15:55 ET by NCConservativeNo, science will get me interested in global warming, when I see an iota of evidence that convinces me. (Yes, a lil' ol' hillbilly like me knows what "iota" means!) What doesn't get me interested is a bunch of elitists and alarmists who tell me what trendy bandwagon "cause" of the moment I should support - and then insult me at every opportunity when I instead use my brain to analyze the issue.
(And is there some CNN/"Wolf" connection I am unaware of?)
John Roberts morphing into Constipated for thought Dan Rather
June 15, 2007 - 15:56 ET by Lame CherryAh America to Comrade Roberts, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota for 7 years were in a severe drought....if your weather dupe checked lately these states are now swimming under dozens of inches of rain.
It is called weather cycles John and if you checked my blog findings, information is coming in that the SOLAR WARMING CYCLE OF THE EARTH which you power socialists call globAL Gore Warming, actually is producing more ocean evaporation in the Pacific which is in turn causing larger weather fronts to come into America CAUSING MORE RAIN, which is making arid America a more lush place instead of barron.
Instead of 20 acres to a cow calf pair for grazing, now it is 5 acres. Instead of 20 bushel wheat, now it is 35.
All good things Comrade Roberts, but you liberal elites do not know these things because you are too busy hating people in thinking they can cause the earth to warm up.
Oh and if you twits ever quote me in the MSM, the Nobel Prize winning climate information credit goes to Lame Cherry as while you were sitting in your air conditioned office I was out praying, sweating and observing weather patterns AND NOT BEING A BIGOT to Southerners.

June 15, 2007 - 22:00 ET by mattmThis sick, idiotic and unfunny attempt at humor proves 3 things.
1. The MSM is a Left-Wing propaganda machine.
2. APGW has nothing to do with climate and everything to do with politics.
3. Liberals aren't funny.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Libs can't reason logically.

Athens.

June 16, 2007 - 01:39 ET by wiwfNo, this is wrong. If the media and 99% of America is going to report this wrong and be ignoramouses about this topic, they should be shot and killed on sight:
The person's name is Jack Daniel. The whiskey is his. Thus, it is Jack Daniel's whiskey. The person's name is not Jack Daniels. Read your bottle. The apostrophe, a symbol for possession, is clearly visible between L and S in "Daniel's"
Sorry to nag. But when the media can't even be grammar elites, this country has stepped to a new low.
Grammar police ftw.
