(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.

I saw a show about the black sea, seems there was a level of freshwater mussels discovered at the bottom, proving it was once fresh water.

There is some evidence that the Flood Of Noah occurred when the link of land separating the Med and The Black collapsed and inundated the entire basin........

That was mentioned in that same show.


I keep hearing predictions of various ocean levels, if and when the global ice caps melt. One question I'd love to see asked is. If all the caps and all the glaciers were to melt, what would be the sea level then.

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

Fox is going to do the same thing that CNN did, start out conservative, then slowly turn liberal. I submit to all this thesis, that it is virtually impossible for an entertainment/news service (ie, MSM, including Fox), to not aquire a liberals slant. It is a byproduct of a function of the entertainment/news, that is, to report on what is WRONG. Bad news is good news. Therefore, it leads to liberalism, because liberalism is the philosophy of those who see the cup as half full. As you are exposed to all this "bad news", you slowly become more and more liberal. Of course, this is a generalization, but I think it holds true probably in at least 80% of those involved in the MSM.

Bobby Kennedy Jr., the same Limousine Liberal who opposes an offshore wind farm near his Nantucket Mansion??

Yeah, the same heroin addicted elitist who heads a group of lawyers devoted to extorting money from pork producers. "Fair and Balanced" has become a joke!

I will not be watching this show.

I will not watch such garbage.

Shame of FOX!

Now, how about all you FReepers. Will you watch? There's no need to watch since most of us already know what the leftist environmentalist wacko position is on global warming.

I say we boycott FOX during that program.

Look 'em in the eye, tell to act like an adult, put their emotions in check and prove that global warming: 1) is happening, 2) is a bad thing (why is it bad), 3) is caused by man's industry. Confront them like children and don't let them have their way.

We must present both sides, even if the other side is a ding-bat looney lazy good-for-nothing raving lunatic moon-bat pseudo-science idiot!.................

The "other side" had/has ample airtime. We're so saturated with the "other side's" point of view that complete censorship should be prescribed for detoxification.

Look, I think it's good that FNC is starting to take on some big issues like this and really getting into the details in these 1-hour specials.

If anything, their opening up to the other side of an issue keeps the door open for them to tackle some conservative issues next time around.

you need only watch most of the FNC shows to notice the leftward shift. its definitely there. its time for another cable network to emerge. I have always thought there should be a "Talk Radio Television Network" - that simply airs the radio shows, ala Don Imus, from the top conservative talk radio personalities. Get that rolling, sign the top names to simulcast their shows, and FNC would lose half its audience in 6 months.

We are not the only planet in the solar system. Lets get the story straight!

LOL.

That comment is funny coming from a guy who up until 10/14/05 had the following quote at the bottom of his posts:

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
