The American media made a huge deal about the conclusion by a British judge that "An Inconvenient Truth" contained 9 errors.
Many conservatives have argued that the liberal American media has made global warming out to be a bigger deal than it really is. Some have even argued that the media is part of a giant liberal global warming hoax.
If that were true, don't you think the media would have emphasized these points?
The judge also stated in the ruling that the film is "substantially founded upon scientific research and fact." The judge also said he had "no doubt" that the defendant's expert was "right when he says that: 'Al Gore's presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change in the film was broadly accurate.'"

Where was the liberal bias when it came to reporting this story? It sure looks like an anti-anthropogenic global warming theory bias to me. Or at least an anti-Gore bias!

There is no liberal media. They just keep repeating the same line. You'll find Media Matters carefully uses all of the transcripts. But that won't matter to many.
I continue to be amazed that a US citizen wins a Nobel prize and the people that attack him most are from the US. That is just sad.

It is more than likely and anti-Gore bias. Nobody likes a politician especially one doing science and blaming things like hurricane katrina on global warming, when there's definitely no evidence to support it. Your right the media will always skip out on the overall picture and focus on what gets the best ratings. Whether its a liberal or conservative news station. It doesn't matter. The fact is that those nine errors should be ripped out of the documentary considering there was not sufficient evidence to prove any of these things. You don't go stating a hypothesis is true until you have all the facts. Just a scare tactic and big Al Gore uses up more energy in a day than I could in a year. Oh Sweet Irony!!!

I was very honest about the lying judge who distorted his judgement about the true-life, non-partisan documentary.

Media Matters is a liberal organization, is it not?

mediamatters.org is a liberal website. Very biased op-ed pieces and not news.
