Here's yet another (alleged) example of the media making selective edits in order to slant a story closer to the line that they want to take.
As reported by Raw Story, this piece tells of the anger of students who appeared on a Fox Channel special which was aired directly in response to CNN's 'Planet in peril' show. Its almost a perfect mirror of the 'An Inconvenient Truth Vs. The Great Global Warming Swindle' debate.
Looks to me like 'adjusting the message' is fast becoming the norm across the mainstream media. Whatever happened to honest reporting?
(Come on Peter, calm down, you can stop rolling around laughing now!)

Hven't had a chance to see it, or even read the thing too much in deatil, but the words 'going in with eyes open' spring to mind.
This programme does not sound like an IPCC review panel.
Also I can't get a handle on whether they were made to look silly by naughty editting (no excuse) or simply by not getting thier poinst across very well (sorry...looking at the wrong culprit there ).
Sorry, just read it more thoroughly.
Seems there was naughty editting. However, to be sure I'd have to watch it all (and guess at any ommissions), as there are these magic words '..Hain claimed.'
Did Raw not check either?
I don't know many media who seem very concerned about truth on any basis any more.
