BBC caves to demands of one global warming activist

BBC caves to activist
Noel Sheppard from Newsbusters first commented on a story run by the BBC on Global Warming because he couldn't believe they actually reported on the fact that 2008 was going to be cooler than 2007. Shockingly, a couple of hours later, the headline of the story had been drastically changed. What caused the sudden shift in reporting? Was it a factual error? Nope---it was a couple of emails from a global warming activist begging and pleading (and threatening) the reporter to change the story. It took a whopping 3 emails and a laborious hour and a half---but all the hard work paid off for the activist and the story was changed. Read the amazing details of the changes Newsbusters is reporting. Read Glenn's commentary on the story here, Insiders listen to the audio here.
Heston passes
Charlton Heston passed away at the age of 84 over the weekend. Heston is well known for his role as Moses in 'The Ten Commandments' and his advocacy for the Second Amendment--which included being President of the NRA from 1998-2003. As Glenn said in this interview with Wayne Lapierre, 'they just don't make them like Heston anymore'. Wayne shares some of his memorable stories of Heston during todays interview with Glenn. Read the transcript here. Insiders listen to the interview here.
Offensive Obit: Glenn noticed a peculiar 'but' in Heston's obituary. When commenting that Heston had marched with Dr. King, they augmented that with 'but then his policits veered right'. So Heston marched with Dr. King---BUT then he switched to the side that hates minorities. What does that 'but' mean exactly? Read it and decide for yourself.
Another Clinton fib
Hillary Clinton told an amazing story about how a young, pregnant waitress needed emergency help but was turned away because she didn't have $100 to pay the big bad evil hospital. The woman later died. The only thing that would have made this story worse is if it were accurate. The dad of the deceased young woman saw Hillary using the story and said 'my daughter had health insurance---not sure what she's talking about'. Ooopsie. Read the transcript here, Insiders listen to the Hillary fib here.
