Reply #11: I was watching CNN -- the anchors were waiting for the live feed ... [View All]

... and it was taking a few minutes longer than they expected, so they tried to pass the time by talking about global warming. Unfortunately, they didn't know enough about the topic to do more than blurt out what they could recall from that news story about the British judge who ruled on the use of Gore's DVD in the schools ... they couldn't even discuss the supposed "errors" in the film, because they didn't have enough information.

So they decided to cut away for a commercial. When they came back on, Gore was already talking. They wouldn't have missed that part if they'd had SOMEBODY who at least knew enough about climate impacts to fill "dead air" for a couple of minutes.

Not that I'm blaming those anchors specifically, but their network bills itself as an international news authority. This is one of the most important issues of our time, and they can't spare someone to at least bring their on-air talent up to speed?
