The liberal media’s open contempt for average people and their blatant attempts at influencing the election were on full display during NBC’s Today 3rd Hour last Friday when co-anchors sat down with far-left climate alarmist Al Gore. They gushed over Gore, referring to him as “one of the world’s most prominent voices” and “one of the earliest” on the so-called climate crisis. They also praised his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, and his Nobel Peace Prize. It was clear that they intended to use his presence to push their agenda and shame those who didn’t agree with them.
Not surprisingly, the topic of climate change quickly turned into a discussion of how the “average person” is not understanding the urgency of the issue. Co-anchor Craig Melvin asked Gore if he thought the average person in the country understood the crisis and lamented that there was still a lack of understanding. It seemed as though they were implying that those who don’t agree with their narrative are just not smart enough to comprehend it.
Gore responded by saying that “most people” do understand and that “mother nature is the most persuasive” in getting people to understand. He then went on a hyperbolic rant, equating the extra heat energy trapped by pollution to “750,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every day.” Without questioning or fact-checking this wild claim, co-anchor Sheinelle Jones exclaimed, “Wow!” and Gore added, “It’s hard to wrap my head around a number that big.”
The conversation then shifted to the upcoming presidential election and its impact on climate change. Co-anchor Dylan Dreyer asked how the election would affect the issue not just in the United States, but around the world. Gore initially boasted that it didn’t matter because “a big wheel [was] moving in the right direction” and was unstoppable. However, he quickly changed his tune and emphasized the importance of the election’s outcome, stating that while trends might continue, it was not enough.
It is evident that the liberal media is using any opportunity they can to push their agenda and influence the election. Instead of presenting fair and balanced coverage of the issue, they resort to shaming and belittling those who may not agree with their beliefs. It is also concerning that they are giving a platform to someone like Al Gore, who has consistently made outrageous claims about climate change without any factual evidence to back them up.
The media’s bias and manipulation of information is a dangerous influence on the public. By pushing their agenda and attempting to sway elections, they are undermining the integrity of journalism and the democratic process. Instead of educating and informing the public, they are using fear-mongering tactics to push their own political agenda.
It is important for media outlets to present all sides of an issue and allow individuals to make informed decisions based on facts, not propaganda. The public deserves to have access to unbiased and accurate information, not biased opinions disguised as news. It is time for the media to take responsibility for their actions and start being accountable for their biased reporting. Only then can we have a fair and truly democratic society.
