NBC Blames Global Warming for European Heat Wave It was inevitable. Whenever someplace in the world gets hot for a few days, sooner or later a network story will blame it on global warming. NBC�s Patricia Sabga won the contest on Wednesday night when she warned that �scientists attribute the extreme temperatures to what�s been described as a dome of hot air hovering over Europe, a summer weather pattern that may become the norm.� Sean Seabrook, identified on screen as a �meteorologist,� then asserted: �Scientists appreciate now that global warming is taking place and I think these occurrences of heat waves will become more frequent, so this may be a sign of things to come.� 2. Time�s Tumulty: �A Lot� in Dean�s Record That�s �Conservative� In her Time magazine cover story this week, Karen Tumulty insisted that �Dean's record as Vermont Governor defies ideological labels.� Appearing Wednesday morning on C-SPAN�s Washington Journal, Tumulty similarly argued that �he is going to be difficult to sort of paint into any particular ideological corner,� but she also contended: �There�s a lot in his record that looks, you know, not only moderate, but even conservative.� 3. Episcopal Battle: �Conservatives� Versus the �Inclusive� As portrayed by the networks, the battle inside the Episcopal church is between �conservatives� and not liberals, but those interested in a more �inclusive� church. ABC anchor Elizabeth Vargas set up a story: �Some conservative Episcopalians say homosexuality is contrary to scripture and therefore totally unacceptable. But supporters of the decision call this a step toward a more open and inclusive church.� The same insistence upon labeling only one side of the debate occurred Wednesday on the morning shows. 4. Reuters: �N. Korea Hails 100 Percent Poll Support for Leader� Rivaling the public support Saddam Hussein earned in an election last fall, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il received 100 percent of the �vote� a few days ago, Reuters relayed in a dispatch which took the election seriously. �N. Korea Hails 100 Percent Poll Support for Leader,� announced the headline over the August 4 story datelined from Seoul. The lead: �North Korea said on Monday that polls in which voters gave leader Kim Jong-il 100 percent support showed the communist state was 'firm as a rock� in the face of economic woes and isolation over its nuclear ambitions.� 5. Schwarzenegger a �Social Democrat� Republican Hollywood Can Back A Republican Hollywood liberals can accept. On Thursday�s Good Morning America, actress Jamie Lee Curtis declared of Arnold Schwarzenegger the morning after he announced he�s running in the recall election for Governor of California: �I think he will make a fantastic Governor.� She soon revealed her rationale: "I actually believe he's really, at his heart, even though he pretends to be a Republican, I think he's a social Democrat at heart.� See today�s entire CyberAlert at: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030807.asp ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement www.TimesWatch.org TimesWatch.org The Running Man The Times story on California�s recall vote notes Sen. Feinstein is out, while action-hero Arnold and �populist� Arianna are in, and offers its readers snob appeal: �Instead of talking about issues like nuclear proliferation and appropriations, as Ms. Feinstein did, Mr. Schwarzenegger made light of his decision to run�.� And is Arianna Huffington really a populist independent or just another left-winger?

Stephanopoulos Delivers Dem Attack Strategy on Schwarzenegger Good morning, America, here�s the Democratic spin of the day. On today�s Good Morning America, instead of conveying the reaction of both Republicans and Democrats to Arnold Schwarzenegger entering the gubernatorial contest, George Stephanopoulos devoted nearly all of his analysis to how Democrats will undermine Schwarzenegger. Stephanopoulos reported that those he talked to �point to a couple of hopeful signs in this election.� First, that since Schwarzenegger announced �on the same day that Gary Coleman of Diff'rent Strokes got into the race as well, just points up the whole freak show nature� of the race. And second, Democrats �did some focus groups over the last few weeks and they found out when they presented the idea of Arnold to voters, they laughed.� And he cited a supposed Schwarzenegger gaffe that Democrats had attacked. 2. Couric on Schwarzenegger: �He's the Son of a Nazi Party Member� Journalists normally fret about negative campaigning and condemn attacks that dig out personal baggage in a candidate�s background. Just as long as the candidate doesn�t threaten a Democrat, apparently, since on this morning�s Today Katie Couric didn�t hesitate to beat Democratic operatives to the bunch and remind viewers that Schwarzenegger�s father was a Nazi. She began a question: "Let me ask you about his, his baggage, if you will. He's admitted smoking marijuana, using steroids during his body-building career. He's the son of a Nazi Party member...� 3.

After 40 years as a TV critic, Ann Hodges of the Houston Chronicle recently retired with some warm words about television, but also some tough ones: "The creeping coarseness of TV programs has pushed much more than a litany of vulgar words into polite society. And with each September season, broadcast TV's no-no's tumble in the rush to catch cable's anything-goes. If harping on that along the way made me a blue-nose, I wear the banner proudly." Everyone who watches more than a few minutes of television a day has noticed the way cable TV is driving our mass culture into a morass of shock value, cashing in on voyeurism, milking the profits from sensation, perversion, ultraviolence, ultrasexuality. We are growing numb from the mental poking and prodding and ripping at... Read the latest column written by L.
