In what will surely be one of the largest ever, if not the largest, in-kind contributions to a presidential campaign if Al Gore decides to run, NBC Universal announced late last week that its networks will devote an incredible 75 hours of time on Saturday, July 7 to showing Gore's “Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis.”
In addition to the entirety of NBC's prime time that night hosted by Ann Curry of NBC News, CNBC will carry seven hours of coverage from 7pm to 2am EDT; Bravo will show the concerts around the world for 18 hours starting at 8am EDT; and both the Sundance channel and the Universal HD channel will showcase the concerts for 22 hours each beginning at 4am EDT.

They must have found the bands that didn’t mind that Al Gore and his wife led a scampaign in the 1980s to have the Senate investigate rock musicians for political points.

No surprise.

Big players in nuclear and other “alternative” energies.

Well Manbearpig got what he wanted, a chance to deliver a monolog and claim that it is “reason” because there is no opposing view point.
I Sincerely hope that people see how boring the man is, and boycott NBC unless they give equal time to Naturalist evidence of “Why” Man Induced Global Warming is bunk.

The networks are desperate for programming, but this will likely be a ratings disaster.

75 = 24 ... that’s exactly the kind of hysterical math the GoreBull Warmers use in their “studies”!

I have news for NBC. Since the ER season finale, my television has been turned off. It will be powered up again in the fall for the new season of ER. That 100,000 hour projected life of the new HDTV will last well beyond my last breath. Broadcast TV is irrelevant. So is satellite TV. Propaganda interlaced with bone head commercials. What is the attraction?

The old media wonders why their viewer numbers are down.
If we are home, not reading something, and not on the internet... we might watch sports or local stuff.

If we are home, not reading something, and not on the internet... we might watch sports or local stuff.Work, Eat, Sleep. Do household chores as necessary. If there is any time left and the weather cooperates, go to the range. If the weather isn't cooperating, catch up on reading. Internet time overlaps with work tasks. I'm currently finishing a checkout of many megabytes of the current project trunk. When that completes, I need to zip the results and transfer to a Linux host. Concurrent builds need to be done on both Windows and Linux. Once both are built, test runs against large input data files need to commence. There's a fair bit of dead time during checkouts, build and test runs.

Odd that they did not give any time to the testimony of the IPCC. I had to download that from C-SPAN.

oxygen isn’t a molecule, it’s an atom. It won’t die.
This concert is a waste of air, a waste of noise, a waste of time, a waste of our youth. But the atoms are safe.

Somewhat off topic but can anyone name a Republican Candidate for the Presidency who has taken a stand AGAINST all of this carbon dioxide nonsense?
I'm afraid that the PC crowd already has this game well in hand and is ready to pick our pockets once again.

No surprise at all. Jeff Zucker and Gore are good friends. Zucker was to go to work for Gore if he had won.
