Big Three Networks Given Lap Dog Award
By Don | December 9, 2009
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) has bestowed upon the big three broadcast news networks the Media Fairness Caucus' Lap Dog Award for their lack of coverage of the Climategate scandal.
(WASHINGTON) - Congressman Lamar Smith, chairman of the Congressional Media Fairness Caucus, today awarded ABC, CBS and NBC the "Lap Dog Award" for media bias in a speech on the House Floor. The Lap Dog Award is given weekly for the national news coverage that most glaringly exemplifies slanted, subjective, and otherwise sycophantic reporting/shilling.
Smith's remarks:
"ABC, CBS, and NBC are the winners of this week's Media Fairness Caucus' highly un-coveted 'Lap Dog Award' for the most glaring example of media bias.
"The networks took two weeks to devote any coverage to the 'Climategate' scandal on their evening news programs.
"We now know that prominent scientists were so determined to advance the idea of human-made global warming that they worked together to hide contradictory temperature data.
"But for two weeks, none of the networks gave the scandal any coverage on their evening news programs. And when they finally did cover it, their reporting was largely slanted in favor of global warming alarmists.
"The networks have shown a steady pattern of bias on climate change. During a six-month period, four out of five network news reports failed to acknowledge any dissenting opinions about global warming, according to a Business and Media Institute study.
"The networks should tell Americans the truth, rather than hide the facts."
