Fox News Will Now Highlight "Global Warming" to Their Cult Audience.
Edited on Fri Nov-11-05 05:30 PM by David Zephyr
It appears that Fox News, the laughingstock of all the world, will attempt to tweak the minds of their brainwashed television audience to the real threat of Global Warming this weekend.

How pathetic that Rupert Murdoch must now re-train his stooges to accept the scientific reality of Global Warming that his "news" group has so ridiculed for the last eight years.

Who knows? If this works well with the zombies, maybe Rupert's hucksters can even introduce the cretons to the concept of evolution, too.

3. Here's a link.
There's no reason to watch Fox. Still, here's a link on the "retraining" as I call it.

10. thanks.
I heard the Bobby Kennedy input into this story. Apparently it's legit. So on this maybe FOX is catching up.

But we are in agreement here :hi:

2. I don't believe it. It'll be a bait & switch...
They'll SAY it's a story about Global Warming and then they'll have "experts" who'll spout BS about it being bunk. -JJ

4. I don't think so this time.
Edited on Fri Nov-11-05 05:36 PM by David Zephyr
Of course, there is no reason on earth to believe that they'd do the right thing for the right reason. I do, however, believe that they can't report on the issue until they retrain the minds of their cult.

5. Hmmmm....
It's happening FAST too. Hell just froze over.

"None of this is really debatable. What has been debated, though, is the cause. Is this our fault? There are scientists out there who argue that none of this is human related. But those experts appear to be in the minority."

Fox News' Global Warming Special: Putting the Conserve Back into Conservatism

A Fox News Special “The Heat is On: The Case of Global Warming” airing this Sunday at 8:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. EST, documents the devastating impacts that global warming is already having on our planet. In one segment of the show, I accompany a Fox News crew to Glacier National Park in Montana where only 27 of the 150 glaciers that graced the park in 1850 remain--and these will be gone within our generation.
The portrayal of global warming in Fox’s piece is both fair and accurate.

I spent a summer in a tent in Africa with Roger Ailes in 1973 making a wildlife film. He is charming, affable, very smart, and very, very funny. Although we both believe that each other’s politics are misguided, we have remained friends for three decades. Last year, I asked Roger, as a personal favor, to attend Al Gore’s New York City update on global warming science. Although he left that presentation still agnostic, he was convinced that the debate deserved a public airing. I argued that since there is no such thing as Republican or Democratic children, global warming should not be a partisan but only a scientific issue. The Fox News team did a superb job exploring the science. This film should be seen be everyone. The end product goes a long way toward putting the conserve back into conservatism.

9. Thanks for the input and the link from with RFK, Jr.
A friend had passed the Fox link on to me and I was as surprised as anyone else that they were making such an about face with their trained seal audience.

Rodeodance, your additional information provides even greater insight with the Roger Ailes and Al Gore story.

Thanks! :hi:
