Press release from the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works

Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw's lack of objectivity and balance on the issue of global warming appears to have tainted his upcoming Discovery Channel documentary called: "Global Warming: What You Need To Know" airing on July 16. Brokaw's partisan past and his reliance on scientists who openly endorsed Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004 and who are financially affiliated with left wing environmental groups, has resulted in a documentary that is devoid of balance and objectivity. Colorado State climatologist and professor of atmospheric sciences at Colorado State University, Roger Pielke, Sr, viewed an advance copy of the Brokaw's special and declared that it contained "errors and misconceptions." "The show relied on just a few scientists with a particular personal viewpoint on this subject which misleads the public on the broader view that is actually held by most climate scientists," Pielke wrote on July 7.

Unfortunately, viewers should not expect a scientifically balanced view of the climate from the former NBC newsman. Brokaw who has been affiliated with the Sierra Club and has recently lavished praise on former Vice President Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth." Brokaw, who called Gore's film "stylish and compelling", has called the science behind catastrophic human caused global warming `irrefutable." Brokaw also chose to ignore all 60 scientists who wrote to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in April of 2006 questioning the science of climate alarmism.

Brokaw's partisan environmental credentials are so firmly established that the former anchor was offered a job in the Clinton-Gore Administration to be the director of the National Park Service in 1993. According to The Washington Post, Brokaw `very seriously' considered the offer at the time but decided to remain with NBC News. "I have a lot of friends in the environmental movement," Brokaw said. Brokaw's wife also serves as vice president of the environmental group Conservation International.

In his new Discovery Channel special, Brokaw does not disclose the potential and known biases of the scientists he chose to feature. For example, Brokaw presents NASA's James Hansen as an authority on climate change without revealing to viewers the extensive political and financial ties that Hansen has to Democratic Party partisans. Hansen, the director of the agency's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, received a $250,000 grant from the charitable foundation headed by former Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz. Subsequent to the Heinz Foundation grant, Hansen publicly endorsed Democrat John Kerry for president in 2004, a political endorsement considered to be highly unusual for a NASA scientist.

Hansen also has acted as a consultant to Gore's slide-show presentations on global warming, on which Gore's movie is based. Hansen has actively promoted Gore and his movie, even appearing at a New York City Town Hall meeting with Gore and several Hollywood producers in May. Hansen also conceded in the March 2004 issue of Scientific American that the use of "extreme scenarios" to dramatize climate change "may have been appropriate at one time" to drive the public's attention to the issue --- a disturbing admission by a prominent scientist.

Brokaw's special also features Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University. Brokaw once again fails to disclose Oppenheimer's partisan and ideological affiliations to viewers. Brokaw fails to note that Oppenheimer actively campaigned against President George Bush in 2004 and, like Hansen, endorsed Senator Kerry for president. Oppenheimer was affiliated with the partisan group Scientists and Engineers for Change and the green group Environment2004 financially bankrolled in part by the Heinz Foundation where Teresa Heinz-Kerry serves as the chairwoman. Environment2004, which put up billboards in Florida mocking President Bush in the final months of the 2004 presidential election. Viewers of Brokaw's program will not be informed that Oppenheimer personally donated to the group Environment2004, a group that was so partisan it encouraged visitors to their Webpage to "get involved" in defeating President Bush by playing a game called "Whack-a-Bush." In addition, Oppenheimer also serves as a "science advisor" to the left wing and politically charged group Environmental Defense and was a co-founder of Climate Action Network. Finally, Oppenheimer appeared with Hollywood activist Leonardo DiCaprio and Gore's movie producer Laurie David on Oprah Winfrey's talk show.

Brokaw's special has led climatologist Pielke to conclude that Brokaw presents "a narrow view of the issue of natural and human climate variability and change." "It is a disappointment that this show, hosted by Tom Brokaw, did not use the two hours to present a balanced view on the spectrum of perspectives on the human influences on the climate system," Pielke wrote.

Pielke has authored more than 275 peer reviewed journal articles on climate. According to Pielke, Brokaw also presents flawed science in his program. "Rapid glacial retreat is not a new observation, nor are all glaciers retreating. The Grand Pacific glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, for example, retreated 48 miles from 1794 to 1879, and a further 17 miles by 1916. Large masses of glacial ice breaking from the Antarctic continent are not a new feature of this region," Pielke noted

To take a screenshot, just press "shift" and "PrtSc" on your keyboard...hold them down at the same time. Then, open a program like MS Paint and select "paste." It will appear. Save that file. Then upload to a hosting site like Photobucket.com (free), and from there you can post those images. Hope that helped.

"Hunt's ketchup sucks!"

I haven't bought anything Heinz, either. It was even on sale yesterday and CHEAPER than the generic brand, but I still wouldn't buy it.

Keep to the high road, man. And try Red Gold ketchup. It's the best!

A pro-Hizbollah, terrorist-funding First Lady is definitely out of the question...

We already had one - the BEAST.

I've saved a copy of the article.

But why did you excerpt the article? NewsMax is not on Jim Rob's no-no list.

Sorry, but I've got to take a somewhat contrary point of view. I went to the website and read the article, and it appeared to be a fairly factual account of Hizbullah widows and how they are taken care of by the "martyrs' wives association". Its tone was sympathetic to the women, but I've seen Main Stream Media articles which were far, far more terrorist-friendly than this one.

The point is that NewsMax is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. This is not nearly at the level of what the New York Times and other liberal media do all the time. To take this article, and try to paint it as terribly damning to Teresa Heinz-Kerry (and her husband) because her foundation is one of the contributors to the overall website is really grasping at straws. If this is the best NewsMax can do to attack Kerry, then it might as well throw in the towel, because it will gain zero traction with the general public.

Lazio Hammers Hillary with NewsMax Scoop, Wins 5-Point Lead

Lazio Hammers Hillary with NewsMax Scoop, Wins 5-Point Lead

Ever since NewsMax.com reported exclusively on Friday that Senate candidate Hillary Clinton tried to camouflage a donation from terrorist sympathizer Abdurahman Alamoudi on her Federal Election Commission filing, her rival Rick Lazio has been pounding her with the news.

Initially the mainstream press ignored NewsMax's scoop. But Lazio and his backers didn't. And the latest polls show the candidate's persistence has begun to pay off.

A day after our report that the Clinton campaign changed the name of Alamoudi's employer from "American Muslim Council" to "American Museum Council" on FEC records, team Lazio called it a cover-up. (See: Hillary Caught in Pro-Arafat Fund-Raising Cover-Up.)

The revelation made it almost impossible to believe Mrs. Clinton's claim that she had no idea about Alamoudi's anti-Israeli sympathies, the Long Island Republican argued.

Apparently New York voters agree. Wednesday's Zogby poll has Lazio up by five points over the first lady. The latest Quinnipiac survey has him closing to within three points of Hillary, coming off a seven-point deficit a week earlier.

The bottom has dropped out of Mrs. Clinton's Jewish support, with Zogby showing her actually trailing Lazio in that key demographic, 46 percent to 45 percent.

Lazio's campaign learned of Clinton's "Muslim" to "Museum" switch from NewsMax.com on Friday and jumped on the news immediately. The candidate himself began telling reporters Saturday that Clinton's attempt to hide Alamoudi's true ties was "the real story."

Though the print press continued to ignore Clinton's suspicious FEC filing, Lazio took the story to national TV. Tuesday morning he walked "Today Show" host Matt Lauer through Hillary's Muslim-Museum sleight of hand.

The same night Lazio ally, New York Gov. George Pataki, was telling Fox News Channel's Paula Zahn how the FEC filing made it clear the Clinton campaign knew it had something to hide.

In the intervening days, Alamoudi's support for anti-Israel terrorist groups has become even more clear.

On Tuesday, the New York Daily News quoted the American Muslim Council official saying, "We are all supporters of Hamas. ... I am also a supporter of Hezbollah." Another devastating revelation: Alamoudi was discovered to be on the Clinton State Department payroll.

Hezbollah is believed to be responsible for the 1983 bomb attack on a U.S. military barracks in Beirut, taking the lives of 241 Marines.

The no-no list is a little confusing for me.

It is just easier for my old brain to try to remember to excerpt most everything.

Can't you go up to 'file' in Internet Explorer and 'save as'? Also, if you are familiar with HTML you can go to 'view' and save 'source' as.

It will be in HTML but you can put it on a webpage and have it to view and post a link to.

Many 'screen capture' programs are made just for this purpose.

I agree with you. I didn't see the big whoops but saved it in case I was missing something in my fatigue. Both NewsMax and WorldNetDaily are sources I view with skepticism, because they can be tabloidy.

I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I *do* have that page saved! LOL.
