To be fair, this story ran two weeks ago, but as no one posted it then, I posted it to demonstrate that algore's timing remains as impeccable as ever.

I'm surprised he didn't say, "didn't you see my movie, an inconvenient truth?!? The science is settled!"

I can't stand this guy. Talk about "deniers".

The funny part of this is that Sammon’s original memo, which the left has gone monkey-house over, is merely a reminder to FOX reporters to remain fair and balanced. That’s what really upsets the commies, unbiased reporting.

The truth always seems like bias to the fanatics.

Looking forward to paying my disrepects to his ironically frozen corpse.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

How can you be biased against something that is clearly a fraud?

It’s like being biased against Ponzi Schemes.

Former Vice President Al Gore is picking a fight with Fox News

Never go to a gunfight with a pointed stick, Al.

>>> “Given the controversy over the veracity of climate change data, 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.” <<<

Wat the He’ll is wrong with that? It sounds to me like the people at Foxnews are actually trying to be impartial - fair and balanced.

Oh, wait.... That’s why they’re hated.... Thats why Algore takes exception.... Never mind.

How Gore's massive energy consumption saves the world

According to the Nashville Electric Service, the Eco-Messiah's house uses 20 times more electricity than the average American home. The average household consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours. In 2006, the Gores wolfed down nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours.

Al buys "carbon offsets," or "carbon credits." Or, as his spokesperson Kalee Kreider put it (and, incidentally, speaking through a spokesperson is another way Al dramatically reduces his own emissions), the Gores "also do the carbon emissions offset."

How do "carbon offsets" work? Well, let's say you're a former vice president and you want to reduce your "carbon footprint," but the gorgeous go-go Gore gals are using the hair dryer every night. So you go to a carbon-credits firm and pay some money and they'll find a way of getting somebody on the other side of the planet to reduce his emissions and the net result will be "carbon neutral." It's like in Henry VIII's day. He'd be planning a big ox roast and piling on the calories but he'd give a groat to a starving peasant to carry on starving for another day and the result would be calorie-neutral.

Al buys his carbon offsets from Generation Investment Management LLP, which is "an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 and with offices in London and Washington, D.C.," that, for a fee, will invest your money in "high-quality companies at attractive prices that will deliver superior long-term investment returns." Generation is a tax-exempt U.S. 501(c)3. And who's the chairman and founding partner? Al Gore.

So Al can buy his carbon offsets from himself. Better yet, he can buy them with the money he gets from his long-time relationship with Occidental Petroleum. See how easy it is to be carbon-neutral? All you have do is own a gazillion stocks in Big Oil, start an eco-stockbroking firm to make eco-friendly investments, use a small portion of your oil company's profits to buy some tax-deductible carbon offsets from your own investment firm, and you too can save the planet while making money and leaving a carbon footprint roughly the size of Godzilla's

Sammon’s statement is a responsible position for a news organization to take. This article, on the other hand, openly betrays a bias that is unmistakable.
