Today Show's Misleading ANWR Mountains
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on December 23, 2005 - 07:31.
In reporting what it called a "big win" for Senate Democrats in killing off drilling in ANWR, this morning's Today show aired footage of gorgeous snow-capped mountains, similar to the file photo to the right.
There's only one little problem. The drilling in ANWR won't take place anywhere near those mountains.
It will occur on barren coastal plains far away. A few years ago, attempting to break through the ice-jam of blather over the issue, the National Review's Jonah Goldberg took a trip up there himself. Here's one of the photos Jonah took, giving an idea of the area in which drilling would take place. Them's some mighty small mountains!

ANWR would show that America can become once again energy
independent. Who does not want that to happen?
Righhhht, the A-rabs. How much Saudi Arabian money do you think might have found its way into the "campaign" coffers of the Congressmen who voted against tapping the vast oil reserves in Alaska.
Ted Stevens from Alaska and chairman of the Appropriations Committee was so mad he threatened to take away taxpayers dollars from the pork projects of the Senators who voted against drilling in Alaska, so some good might come from it after all.

FOX perpetuate the "domestic spying", "spying on Americans" bias with regard to the NSA leak.

FOX also ran the film of the caribou running through green hills as they reported the ANWAR drilling bill was killed. I saw it twice that evening. Shame on them, joining all the rest of the liars in the msm on this deception. Everyone should email them the real pictures of ANWAR from this thread and ask them to make the correction.
