What exactly do you find wrong with this;

"We should refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question. It is not our place as journalists to assert such notions as facts, especially as this debate intensifies."
See, media blathers and stink progress are desperately trying to discredit Fox News, the number ONE cable news station in the country for the past 8 years or so, they will deceptively take things out of context, fo the hatchet cut and edit of video, do whatever it takes to knock Fox down a peg or two.......and Fox just keeps getting more and more popular.

Keep it up.

Its like watching waves break on a rocky shore.

How is that balanced if the news story was just reporting on scientific data for the past decade? I agree if the story about the temps went on to declare that man made greenhouse gases were the cause of the hot decade. But if the original story was just an unbiased reporting of the meteo data and its effects on local areas, why does it need a retort? To me, if that were the case, then the retort is propaganda.

According to the email, obtained by Media Matters, Fox News's Washington bureau chief, Bill Sammon, imposed an order to make time for climate skeptics within 15 minutes of the airing of a story about a scientific report showing that 2000-2009 was on track to be the hottest decade on record.

True investigative reporting.
Getting on a bandwagon informs no one.
Fair and balanced, means showing both sides to the coin.


There is a big difference in a salesman and a teacher.(propaganda and education)

Never mind the opinions on climate change. Just keep up with the facts...The 2010 meteorological year, which ended on 30 November, was the warmest in NASA’s 130-year record. Over the oceans as well as on land, the average global temperature for the 12-month period that began last December was 14.65˚C.

You can stop right there, Hansen who leads GISS is an activist scientist who has been arrested at a protest and once compared coal trains to the Nazi death trains. His bias is quite clear. Because of his involvement anything coming from NASA is suspect, many people even the pro warming crowd have been critical of his work.

I wasn't aware NASA had been around 130 years.

Now you tell us what the purpose Spooky Dude Soros had for creating Media Matters. Also, admit that he gave them $1 million right out in the open a few weeks ago when Glenn Beck picked on him. Yep, he created that blog with the explicit purpose of destroying Glenn Beck and Fox News and using whatever method worked for them. Media Matters procured something but I bet they made that one up.

I just heard a lefty Democrat screaming that Obama DID NOT bow to any kings and he knew that it did happen. Obviously someone has told him that lie often enough that he believes it.

Ok BTW, that was Hannity's show which had that lefty guesting on it. Hmm, you don't seem to see Hannity very much or you would know that he always has lefties on there every night.

Hell, Beck has begged the top left leaner, George Soros to come on his show for an hour of debate, with no success.

They haven't. That is how long records have been kept I guess...

Check it out yourself.. Data.GISS: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis: Analysis Graphs and Plots

It is obvious that there is a warming trend happening.
