MSNBC shameless in global “warming” coverage

Ed Morrissey nails the b#stards on this one.  Basically, they run a story on some British teenager who goes to the North Pole to see the “disappearing” Arctic ice that’s melting as a result of global “warming”.  Harmless enough, except that in order to elicit an emotional response, they show cute little penguins floating on a piece of ice.

There’s just one problem with that photo-op: Penguins live at the South Pole, not the North Pole!  You know, the South Pole, where the Arctic ice cap is expanding and not melting?  Explains Ed:

Those, folks, are penguins — which live at the bottom of the earth, as Nigel points out. The “expanses of water that weren’t there before” were actually never there at the North Pole. All 17 species of penguins live in the southern hemisphere.

Why would penguins make the long and rather warm journey across the equator to appear in an MS-NBC story about global warming?

• Escaping the expanding ice cap at the South Pole
• Conducting their own investigation into polar-bear migration
• MS-NBC’s editors don’t know one pole from another

Something got exposed in this broadcast — scientific illiteracy at MS-NBC.

Check out the video clip he’s got (along with a reminder of MSNBC’s melodramatic-and-dishonest climate “catastrophe” reporting), and then repeat after me: Nope…no liberal media bias!
