Climate Change Discussion

[BobRip]

Kennedy killed a woman while driving drunk. Today in NC he would be charged with at least a misdomeaner and very possbily a Second Degree Homicide.

Cheney was involved in a hunting accident not a criminal act.

There is just a slight difference between the two men's actions . Both of these actions are not pertinent to the Global Warming discussion that I can see at the moment.

Gore is making money off of Global Warming and it looks like he might get a Ph.d because of his movie. Seems like he fits into the Global Warming conversation and could be used to support either side of the discussion.

Being given a Ph.d for a movie is kinda interesting on a bunch of different levels.

Kennedy killed a woman. Cheney shot a lawyer. I like women in general. How I feed about lawyers is different. (It's a joke son)

To be completely fair and impartial to both:
1. They had both been drinking when the accidents occured.
2. Neither one reported it to the press untill the next day.
3. Neither incident contributed highly to Climate Change.

Number 2 is not required in EITHER case.

However, the car accident does have to be reported to the authorities. Last time I checked that was not the press though they surely would like us to think so. Not sure if the hunting accident needs to be reported but it was since law enforcement saw the incident and the victim got prompt attention. Kennedy left the women to drown.

Gore is also spending BIG bucks lobbying with the Academy to get an Oscar for his movie. At least that is what Rushbo said...for what its worth.

Speaking of fair and impartial reporting

True, but Rush is a talking head not a Journalist so he does not have to be fair or impartial. However the Journalists ARE supposed to be fair and impartial yet they are not by any measure. And THAT is part of the Global Warming discussion.

I suppose it too much to ask that we get fair and impartial reporting on Global Warming or any other subject at the moment since the Journalists are busy "reporting" on the hugely important subjects of Britney cutting her hair and who gets to bury Anna Nicole Smith.

I have only heard Rush's show once back around 1990 so I can hardly be called even a listener of his show. And his comment may very well be true since film companies spend lots of money promoting their product in the hopes of winning an Oscar since they would then make more money.

I think this is a large part of the problem (GW and otherwise). The various media sources present there "News" as facts, when for the most part it is just entertainment designed to earn the most advertising dollars.
Truth and common sense are rarely the top earners. Tune in at 6 O'Clock for the Evening Circus.

Ahh, that is the paradox isn't it? He acts and sounds like a journalist and some people even think he is a journalist and quote him like a journalist but in reality he is just an actor (his words, not mine). This is the beautiful set up he can spout all the venom he wants and profess it to be the truth but when he is caught in a bold face lie he just says "just kidding" folks.

When has he done this?
