Young scientists say Fox sold them out to bash global warming

Nick Juliano
Published: Tuesday October 30, 2007


Hannity & Colmes focused on negative comments from global warming panel
After CNN aired its heavily promoted "Planet in Peril" series examining the impact of humans on the environment and the devastating impact of earth's rising temperatures, competitor Fox News aired a segment aimed at debunking the "Al Gore rhetoric."

Conservative host Sean Hannity made clear his disdain for CNN's environmental alarm when the show he co-hosts convened a panel of graduate students to discuss the program. Several students involved say their views were misrepresented, and they are now complaining the Fox talker made them out to be a bunch of science-denying rubes.

"We ... feel like we were sold out by Fox News," Chris Hain, one of the participants, told RAW STORY.

1. OK, kiddies
You may be smart enough to get into graduate school, but don't think you can win a rigged game.

4. Do fox viewers accept the word of graduate students over scientists with a lifetime of research
behind them? Do fox viewers get insulted that fox expects that they will?

6. Fox viewers will accept the Word
of anyone who says what they want to hear, and what they want to hear is right wing bullcrap.
