Is Media Bias Real? Look No Further Than Global Warming!
Do not get me wrong, I am not even close to being a scientist.  Over the past 3 decades, journalists at top media outlets have been surveyed on their political views and voting habits. The findings? Overwhelmingly liberal. Not exactly shocking. 
It is no wonder that so much attention has been given to Al Gore and his climate change antics, ignoring the fact that he personally has no desire to curtail his fossil fuel burning habits.  Let's not even get into the  

Media coverage of the Al Gore-Al Jazeera story.

Let me get back on focus here.........I ask you to consider a few tidbits on the subject of climate change.  Isn't that an interesting phrase!  It does not take much background to understand that the climate has been changing since Earth first came into existence.  

In Dec of 2012, two different reports surfaced and sent up huge red flags for the ski industry. One came out of Ontario claiming that a majority of the ski areas in the Northeast will not be economically viable  within 30 years if we do not reverse global warming.  Ignore the fact how huge an ego one must have to assume that humans really are that powerful to create or reverse global warming.  

Another report came out of the U of New Hampshire claiming that global warming in the past 10 years has cost the ski industry approximately $1.9 billion.  Interesting that they could put a number on it in view of the fact that 2 years ago the industry experienced record numbers which has been a trend for 7 of the past 10 years.  

Our liberal biased media jumped all over these reports.  New York Times headline read, "Rising Temps Threaten Fundamental Change for Ski Slopes."

Other headlines read, "Connecticut's Few Remaining Ski Areas Adapt to Global Warming, But Face Gloomy Future: Climate Change Will End Ski Industry Within 30 Years."

The "shrinking winter" story was reported across the country.  The climate change debate is interesting with dozens of viewpoints, each with very compelling arguments.

As Jen Rowan of Ski Area Management put it...."Something needs to be done about the media."  They continue to present a dismal future for the ski industry and listen to only one side: the trendy, liberal side.  The side that loves to dig up the gloom and doom.  Will we ever see open-minded reporting again?????????????  There is another story to be told, but will we ever hear it?   FYI.........on Jan 14, 1928...........the temp in the Quad Cities was 61 degrees.
