Results from a PEW Research Center Poll which asked Americans about their top priorities. As you can see, well...
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

Wow, I certainly didn't think it would come in lower than Trade Policy! I suppose, though, that some who chose "Environment" were thinking about the global warming as a part of that. Still, it is much lower than I would have guessed.

If this poll is accurate, I think it is fair evidence that the media is behind a lot of the global warming hysteria.
Nonetheless, it appears that what is being portrayed as doom and gloom still hasn't reached deep into the minds and hearts of the average person.

It's just that...science and Fox news are contradictions of each other. They are neither fair nor balanced. Might as well be MSNBC.

nothing is ever fair or balanced, it is just nice to see a tv station that doesn't slant left for once. the whole media isn't fair or balanced so why should one station need to be?

Fox is not a station, it is a network. Their motto is "Fair and balanced." That's why they should be.

Gordon Ramsey is the exception, though. Really cool. And he is a sinner. And he is responsible for global warming.
