(CNSNews.com) - A Fox News Channel documentary on "global warming," set to air Sunday night, provides only the liberal take on the controversial issue and was approved after environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. reportedly "dragged" Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes to a lecture by former Vice President Al Gore, "kicking and screaming."

Clay Rawson, the Fox News Channel producer of the hour-long special titled "The Heat Is On: The Case of Global Warming," told Cybercast News Service Wednesday that the project "was a little bit different for us.

"Often on Fox News Channel, we present both sides, according to our 'fair and balanced' motto, but this is the global warming story," Rawson said. "We do make it clear that this is one side of the issue through inclusion of a disclaimer," he added. The documentary is said to ignore scientific skeptics who believe that human activity is not responsible for catastrophic climate change.

Fair and Balanced will take a poke in the eye tonight. If they maintain a policy like this, they will watch as their viewership slips away and they become just another ABCBSNBCNN et. al.

Wow, if that's true... I didn't know Ailes was a shallow idiot.

Global warming is probably real, but I don't believe it is caused by man. It is caused by normal temperature cycles.

Fox news management should look at the stock of the NY Slimes, Wa Compost and Chicago/Tribune to see what happen to bearers of the left's lies:

NYT = NY Slimes

WPO = Washington Post

TRB = Chicago Tribune and LA Slimes

But they made a conscious decision NOT to present opposing views.

Those environmentalist wackos told me when I was in kindergarten that the polar ice caps were going to melt. At last inspection, they were still there! I'm considerably older than that now. They have yet to be right. Blow 'em off!

I saw this show advertised on Fox this morning. Fox is becoming harder and harder to watch. They started out with a good idea...sort of like MTV. MTV was great when it started back in '80 or '81, then some leftist got hold of it and now MTV stinks. Same thing's happening to Fox. There was a time when I watched Fox for at least 8 to 10 hours a day. Now I'm down to less than 30 mins. I will not be watching this show.

"Learn the facts about global warming and decide for your self what needs to be done about these new realities," Folbaum stated.

How does one learn the facts if given only the Robert Kennedy Jr. and Laurie David slant of the story?

Am I the only one who's noticed a shift to the left by FNC lately?

I figure they're ramping up for the percieved DNC tidal wave that's supposed to be coming.

This isn't affecting Britt Hume's show, but the regular newscast portions have seemed awfully liberal to me lately.

Why would "fair and balanced" take a poke in the eye? The network is clearly slanted right. The presentation of one show that's off the reservation is a poke in the eye?

Their "fair and balanced" reporting already has a black eye.....it started quite some time ago.

This "new" policy only confirms what many outspoken critics of Fox have been saying for a good 12 months or longer.
