So in his speech PBS anchor Jeffrey Brown noted that a generation ago people got their news.

From the Big Three networks but now all this new fragmentation makes our nation harder.

To govern he says quote.

It's hard not to feel it has some relationship to that divisions.

Around us.

Translation I need to Fox News yet before there was a -- the news was slanted so far left yet -- the Florida watch it.

Now that it's over brown longs for the days when he hog the ball 24/7.

So really it's more proof the media embraces diversity accepted opinion.

Browns and information -- preferring only once -- it.

Is let's be honest things aren't very balanced even now the -- of the American media's political viewpoint has Michael Moore sitting on one -- Dana Perino sitting on the other.

Take a -- and told him excess and leave the common sense and that sees soft lips like a catapult.

That's what's been happening in America -- fantasies crafted in teachers' lounges are no longer -- from an American sees right through them.

And that scares brown is federally funded -- to be launched into oblivion like Dana and really there wasn't more fragmentation.

I would never I've found your speech Jeff.

So there goes your point.

Which I'm sure one upset you because there's zero chance you're listening to me right now.

Yup there was -- Fox News if there was no other voice is we know it don't we never would've known about Al Gore's opinions.

About climate change during hurricane -- or get an amazing rebuttal from -- this tardy on the O'Reilly Factor.

The storms are getting stronger the stronger storms are getting.

More frequent and you know this is the second time in two years.

That part of Manhattan has been shut down and it did you know that didn't use.

Happened like this.

But the evidence is now so overwhelming.

That's stunningly ignorant -- stunningly deceptive what Al Gore said he doesn't know what he's talking about an ever since he shot his mouth off about Katrina we've seen total global tropical activity.

Go to record low levels just because something happens in your backyard two years in a row.

It has nothing to do with the total picture.

Are what he's -- saying that from the fifties did this the fifty or 6010 major hurricanes.

And so there's actually less hurricane activity -- was now so I'll linking global warming -- climate change -- hurricanes is a simplification possibly dishonest.

I want to be fair -- that's what we do here I wanna run.

Riley also had a climate change expert on tried to could -- Prove that -- -- because their game.

-- -- We have sea level rise caused by climate change that is making storm surge is worse we also have more severe.

Rains and coastal flooding and three.

We have the situation where.

It's sea level rise is happening and that's increasing the storm surge we have warmer ocean waters powering more powerful hurricanes and four.

When it comes to the frequency of hurricanes -- to still have a lot of questions.

Okay where does that get so one would see rising three wood senior rising causing store -- which was number two and then four.

We don't know everything.

He's the greatest climate change expert I've ever.

-- -- finally I hit by the climate changing and count the points out you two are calling it climate change that's the Libya changed it to when they realized it wasn't warming members global warming and then.

All the so there -- decades of cool global cooling including.

The last ten years since the way they described -- the way to get around that -- -- -- colts yet and climate change that's what you can blame everything on it.

Now they're seen as the last -- of the green religion and it's kind of a sad thing to see when -- on current TV.

And your boss calls and you had to agree with everything that's written and how absolutely interesting absolutely.

It it's unfortunate because it's also stands -- the conversation about how we.

Diversify our energy sources and improve our transmission systems that we don't have the problems -- you know he and you end it.

You start to get me to question my own conclusion this -- -- away from my fighters monthly.

A newsletter to make a decision after she ever talk.

You -- outside sources Flat Earth Society that's always thought.

What do you think is this paves the way to get government in your pocket -- -- happening -- UK embarrassing because the facts aren't there to support and why this threats like the innocent -- the gas to try and survive -- they've got it some kind of make.

Life support trying to cling to this theory that the meteorologist anyone who's credible -- count.

He but it also waited -- coal that is the goal -- it here in Ohio Pennsylvania West Virginia you ought to remember that that this is.

This is the goal and if you didn't go our goal or higher power plant.

Al Gore needs any more reason -- he he absolutely makes a boatload of money off of yet read up energy initiatives that -- it's all overwhelming Obama advantage of international science do you agree with global warming and that we've got one of our Newton eligible I have wanted got an excellent.
