CNN’s ‘Quick Hit’ on ‘Southern Conservatives’

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.
