We keep hearing from liberals about the need for "fairness" in the media. If they really believe in that concept, why don't they demand equal time for those who disagree with the pseudo-science being promoted with this event.

This coming Saturday, July 7, NBC Universal will devote a record 75 hours of coverage to Al Gore’s “Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis,” to raise awareness about the alleged global warming “crisis” as defined by Gore. The coverage will air on seven NBC Universal-owned programs, and Today news anchor Ann Curry will host coverage during NBC’s primetime.

The 75 hours of coverage constitutes unprecedented promotion of one side of a political issue, and the largest in-kind contribution to Al Gore should he decide to run for President in 2008. Although undeclared, Gore ranks No. 3 among Democrats in leading polls on the presidential race.

Jeff Gaspin, president of NBC Universal Cable and Digital Content, declared, “By leveraging all of our properties, we will reach millions of viewers with this important call to action to combat global warming.” Kevin Wall, Live Earth founder and producer, said: “NBC Universal’s sweeping coverage of Live Earth ensures that Americans from coast to coast will be able to tune in to the concerts and take action against the climate crisis.”

So we have 75 hours of express advocacy of the global warming hooey promoted by Al Gore. How about 75 hours of scientific fact that shows that global warming, to the degree it exists, is not caused by mankind, and that there is not a consensus on the issue (no matter how often the global warming cultists claim there is).

I'm waiting, liberals, for you demand for "fairness" by NBC on global warming.
