Journalist notes liberal bias in global warming re****ts

Former CBS News correspondent Bernie Goldberg says the liberal mainstream 
media is largely ignoring the voices of scientists and academics who are 
skeptical of the notion that global warming is caused by human activity.


For its April 21 issue, TIME magazine replaced the traditionally red
border 
on its cover with a green one to spotlight its top story titled "How to
Win 
the War on Global Warming." The cover also took the famous photograph of
the 
Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima and replaced the flag with a

tree.

Goldberg, a Fox News analyst and author of the best-selling book Crazies
to 
the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, says one of the most one-sided media 
re****ts on global warming was done by Scott Pelley for CBS's 60 Minutes. 
According to Goldberg, when Pelley was interviewed about the bias in the 
re****t, his response was typical of the mainstream media.

"He said, 'Well, if I interview somebody who says that there was a 
Holocaust, do I have to go out and find a Holocaust denier?' You see what 
they do?" Goldberg responds. "They equate people who question the reason, 
not the existence of, but the reason for global warming -- they equate
them 
with Holocaust deniers," he contends.

According to Goldberg, although global warming by no means shares a
category 
with the Holocaust, the media has placed it into that category. "This is
the 
same media that, not that many years ago in the 1970s, was running cover 
stories on their news magazines about global cooling and the coming of the

new Ice Age," he points out. "They didn't even say 'Oops!' when they got 
that one wrong."

The journalist jokes that "being liberal means never having to say you're 
sorry." Goldberg expects a similar response this time around.

"I suspect that if and when they get this one wrong -- when it becomes 
obvious that global warming isn't quite as simple as Al Gore and the
media's 
version of it -- I suspect they won't even say 'Oops!' this time around. 
They'll just go on to the next thing," Goldberg points out.

The veteran correspondent says he once told a liberal friend that he was
not 
convinced global warming was a real threat, and the friend responded by 
asking, "Are you convinced that gravity is real?"
