Tell the Media There is No Other Side to Global Warming
Target: Fox News, CNN, NBC News

The recent presidential primaries have highlighted a key imbalance in the media's coverage of global warming.
A League of Conservation Voters' study found that ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked presidential candidates more than 767 questions in a debate -- only 5 of which were related to global warming. CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked more than 402 questions -- only 5 were about global warming. Sadly, other political commentators and reporters have shown a similar disregard for this key issue.
Not to mention, when global warming is covered, many media outlets still bring on "scientists" who claim that global warming is not real, even though an overwhelming majority of scientists agree that it is. This is not balanced - this is deceiving. The public deserves responsible reporting on this critical issue.
Sign the petition today to tell these media outlets that global warming needs to be covered, and it needs to be covered in a meaningful and truly balanced manner.

I want to SEE THE REAL DEAL, Not Bushes DICTORSHIP or as he puts it his FUZZY MATH ISSUES! We have been feed ONLY what the BUSHES MACHINE wants us to See! Today the News is Not being reported to Inform the Citizen But only what they want or are allowing US. This started back when changes allowed ~ Monopoly Ownership of ALL 3 Media Reporting Outlets Television~Radio~Newspaper. This is where a Imbalance started when Major Media Owned Companies Where allowed to Merge with Other News Reporting Media OUTLETS. TODAY from here on OUT I WANT and expect The Real DEAL! I want the News Reported with the Insight that we all should be afforded. With The Freedom of Speach.

Motivate people to be less selfish. Motivate people to want to help the earth, and in doing so, themselves. Motivate people to stop cutting off our nose to spite our face. We need to act smart for a change.

If coverage on global warming was more in the media, and what we as an individual could do to help, more people would get involved. We can ALL help, but alot of people don't know what they can do.....

I"d like to have truth news for a change. They provide illusion, ommission and drama. I'd like to see the truth of pertinent issues covered in depth (re health, wellbeing and environmental issues) and alternative solutions presented.

Don't rely on finding integrity in the media, the truth belongs to the highest bidder.

It shocks me to know our media can cover every topic ranging from gay marriage to Dr. Seuss's Birthday,but when it comes to an issue that can very well be the deciding factor of there future existance on television let alone earth they can only muster up enough energy to deny its validity! Global Warming and pollution are major problems facing the people all across the globe. I was taught in school that television was one of the best technlogical advances made for/by man in order to keep the people informed of the issues surrounding them but when I here these ridiculous numbers it makes me think twice about that technology and I question was it even needed if it defeats its sole purpose of existance. Oh but then I wouldn't be giving justice to the entertainment portion of television like our media so greatly loves to report on ..."by the way what has Brittany Spears been up to lately?"

The inaility of Americans to frame this probelm urgently and rationally is largely due to you guys. I have a Peabody award on my resume. Your lack of adequately information-rich coverage is why I quit journalism and returned to teaching. Pull yourselves up from the commercial mire, guys!
