CBS 'Global Warming Special' Host Likened Warming Skeptics to Holocaus
While most of the country was watching the Green Bay Packers play the New York Giants, CBS aired an hour-long, severely one-sided special about the threat of global warming. The special was hosted by CBS's Scott Pelley. In January 2007, Pelley was asked why he refused to include global warming skeptics in his reporting. He responded, "If I do an interview with [Holocaust survivor] Elie…
'60 Minutes' Preempted This Sunday for Global Warming Hysteria
Fortunately, most people will likely be watching the Giants-Packers game Sunday evening, and will therefore miss the one-sided hysteria. However, for those that mysteriously don't switch channels after the Chargers-Patriots game, CBS will offer a special about global warming this Sunday instead of "60 Minutes." How marvelous. The CBS News website hysterically described this installment of "…
NR’s Goldberg: Global Warming Alarmists Tactics Akin to Fascism
You don't normally associate liberal pet causes like global warming with fascism, but National Review Editor at Large Jonah Goldberg makes a good case for why you could. Goldberg appeared on January 15 at a Borders Bookstore in downtown Washington, D.C. to promote his new book, Liberal Fascism. According to Goldberg, tactics like comparing climate change skeptics to people "who believe that…
'Nightly News': Antarctic Ice Changes Man’s Fault; No Other Possibil
The penguins soon won’t have a home and it’s all our fault. You might get that impression after watching the January 14 “Our Planet” segment on “NBC Nightly News” about the ice shift in Antarctica. “In 2006, the Antarctic peninsula near South America lost 60 billion metric tons of ice; 132 billion tons disappeared in West Antarctica,” said Anne Thompson, NBC News chief environmental affairs…
‘Do As I Say, Not As I Do’ Eco-warriors Are Worst Polluters
As many liberals subscribe to the "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" philosophy, it certainly shouldn't come as any great surprise that so-called eco-warriors that extol the virtues of a green lifestyle are actually the worst polluters. At least, that is the conclusion of a survey of 25,000 people by the British research organization Target Group Index. As reported in Sunday's Telegraph (emphasis added…
Picture Changed in ‘First Baghdad Snow in 100 Years’ Article
Just how far are media outlets willing to go to advance a liberal agenda? Well, consider if you will a major wire service changing the picture included in an article about rare snows in Baghdad, Iraq, several days after said article was published. For some background, on Friday, NewsBusters drew attention to an Agence France-Presse article concerning the first snow in Baghdad for at least 100…
Rare Snows and Cold in Saudi Arabia Ignored by US Media
The selective coverage of international weather events by global warming obsessed media continued this weekend as near-record low temperatures in Saudi Arabia mixed with snow went totally ignored by American press outlets. This goes quite counter to the vast amount of coverage any climate event anywhere on the face of the planet receives if it can be used to support Nobel Laureate Al Gore's…
Hollywood Style Weather Reports Incite Global Warming Fears
In the midst of all the recent global warming alarmism, have you considered the role that the "Hollywoodation" of weather reporting has played? After all, much as news reporting has become more and more geared towards titillation in the past couple of decades, so has the media's presentation of climate events, especially extreme ones like Hurricane Katrina. With this in mind, it only seems…
Climate Change Blamed for First Baghdad Snows in 100 Years
Add another item to the growing list of things caused by the liberal bogeyman known as global warming: SNOW!!!I kid you not. For those thinking NewsBusters has fallen prey to a satire, think again, as the following was hysterically logged by Agence France-Presse moments ago (emphasis added throughout, h/t NBer Popular Tech):
‘CBS Evening News’ Does 180 on Thimerosal/Autism Link
It’s better late than never, might be what vaccine manufacturers are thinking right now. The pharmaceutical industry had maintained all along that there’s no proven link between a vaccine preservative called thimerosal and autism. CBS had been unwilling to concede that notion until last night. “In health news tonight, new research finds no link between mercury in vaccines and autism in…
What to Cover: Springtime in NYC or Snowstorms in the West
A global warming crazed media are going to have a very interesting decision to make this week.Should they report early spring conditions in the eastern part of the country, especially in New York City, or the massive snowstorms that will hit western states including Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada? The former seems a metaphysical certitude, doesn't it?…
Judge Torpedoes Navy with Sonar Reg, Seattle P-I Doesn't Note Clinton
It's bound to be overlooked by the media at-large in large part due to the Iowa caucuses, but a court ruling that burdens the U.S. Navy with yet another environmentally-driven restriction was handed down from a federal district court judge yesterday. That judge, the Hon. Florence-Marie Cooper, is a Clinton appointee, a fact unreported by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Robert McClure (emphasis…
It's Official; Anthropogenic Global Warming May Cause Headaches
Now that global warmingists are getting governments like the UK and the US to ban incandescent lightbulbs, we're hearing some inconvenient accusations about the bulbs. This time, a January 3 article in the UK's Telegraph said the bulbs may cause migraines (h/t NB reader Linda). The UK's Migraine Action Association reported that some of its members say the bulbs trigger the headaches. As a result…
