Network Morning TV Helps '08 Democrats

A Pew Research Center poll released late last month found that faar more American adults could name one of the Democratic presidential candidates than could recall any of the GOP candidates, sighting the fact that the big broadcast networks have treated the Democratic frontrunners like celebrities worthy of intense coverage while the Republican candidates have received far less TV time.
A new Media Research Center study of the ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows has found that in the first 10 months of 2007, the networks spent significantly more time covering the Democratic race and interviewing Democratic candidates than Republican. And those interviews were much friendlier to the Democrats, with the morning show anchors emphasizing a predominantly liberal agenda...

CA Paper: Want a New Gas Tax? Call it a 'Fee' to Fool Voters

CALIFORNIA
The Contra Costa Times has given us an interesting new angle to fool the voters into voting for a new gasoline tax in an article titled, "Calling gas tax a 'fee' may help at ballot." The CCTimes is advising politicians to call the tax hike a "fee" instead of a tax to fool the voters into accepting it at the ballot box. Throughout this piece is the obvious assumption that the county governments in and around San Francisco are "cash-starved" and that these taxes are needed because it is important that the governments "look for new funding" for roads and to "curb global warming." Not a hint that these governments have wasted the money they are already confiscating from the citizens, nor any investigation why some of the highest taxes in the country have not been able to satisfy the needs there. Instead of an investigation into government mismanagement and waste, the CCTimes is trying to find sneakier ways to steal the taxpayer's income by "semantics" and wordplay.

Nets Lead w/ 'Awful' Economic News, Not So Excited About Job Gains

When the Labor Department reported a net loss of 4,000 jobs for August, the September 7 ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts highlighted the bad news as evidence of an impending recession, but on Friday, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a strong gain of 166,000 jobs during October, double expectations, ABC and CBS gave it a few seconds while NBC ignored the good news entirely. What all three did lede with was how bad a day it was on Wall Street and painting it as a harbinger of impending economic doom. NBC anchor Brian Williams piled on the bad news as he insisted he took “no pleasure” in highlighting it. With “DANGER SIGNS” on screen, Williams announced: “Good evening. The following sounds pretty awful -- and we take no pleasure in reporting it -- but today Wall Street fell, the U.S. dollar fell, GM is in bad shape and the housing market continues to be in big trouble.”...

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’
If the founder of The Weather Channel spoke out strongly against the manmade global warming myth, might media members notice?
John Coleman wrote an article published at ICECAP Wednesday that should certainly garner attention from press members -- assuming journalism hasn't been completely replaced by propagandist activism, that is. Coleman began:
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create the allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental activist type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild "scientific" scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens.

Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minutes documentary segment.

There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.
