Fox News has a heavy hand in what is being reported. Here is a Guardian report going back to 12/10:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/15/fox-news-climate-change-email In short, the report shows a planned action to enforces global warming skepticism. Here is a distasteful taste of the the report; "Fox <http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/fox> News's Washington bureau chief, Bill Sammon, imposed an order to make time for climate sceptics within 15 minutes of the airing of a story about a scientific report showing that 2000-2009 was on track to be the hottest decade on record. Media Matters said the bureau chief's response to the report exhibited a pattern of bias by Fox News in its coverage of climate change. It also noted the timing of the directive. The email went out on 8 December last year, when the leaders of nearly 200 countries met in Copenhagen to try to reach a deal on climate change. The email reads: "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 goes on to say: "It is not our place as journalists to assert such notions as facts, especially as this debate intensifies." Also, Fox news has just released a composite image of their typical white conservative male viewer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tunturisopuli_Lemmus_Lemmus.jpg All I can say is "Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty".
