Big media is owned by big corporations - and those big corporations are invested in by a network of other corporations. Some corporations are genuinely afraid now of the rising political will to take serious action against Global Warming, as such action will put them in the hot seat and may threaten their bottom line. So, expect them to try - using any means at their disposal - to detract from this growing upsurge in Global Warming consciousness by spreading disinformation, hiring press shills, and effecting editorial pressure amongst the US' mainstream media organizations to soften the tone of the Global Warming reporting.
Why does the reporter in the article listed below, for example, have such a bias in reporting on the Live Earth concerts?
Global warming concerts: A lot of hot air?
The title of the article "Global warming concerts: A lot of hot air?" already injects his idiotic bias. Why would CNN even permit an article with such blatant bias to be published on their Web site, unless there was a general editorial mandate to start introducing messaging that is more skeptical towards the environmental movement and, as a result, friendlier towards corporate interests?
Now, not all companies are being pigheaded and obstructionist, however. At least some companies are taking up the challenge of pioneering better ways of doing things that contribute less towards Global Warming.
