ALL "GLOBAL WARMING" IS A HOAX   October 19th, 2009 - 2:12 pm

The same people buying the “climate change-global warming” crap believe in unicorns and fairyland and Obama!

Hey “Global Warming” wacko’s GO OUTSIDE IN THE NORTH EAST! IT’S SNOWING IN MID OCTOBER!

Commieobamie   October 19th, 2009 - 2:13 pm

Seems MSM is gearing up more & more hoakie news reports to fool the American people; seeing how easy and many times than can fake the news. Maybe to condition the people for some really fake news that all will believe, providing the COMMUNIST takeover? Just a thought, be diligent.

There was snow in North Carolina yesterday, mid October during the leaf season.

No sun spots this year, so we are in for a very cold winter.

Hahahaha! MSM STINKS!   October 19th, 2009 - 2:19 pm

Check your sources..mmmmKay?

Paul W.   October 19th, 2009 - 2:27 pm

Hellooooo??? Is anyone checking their sources??? C’mon people, this is the White House playing games with you stupid people.

txmike   October 19th, 2009 - 2:27 pm

Cap and trade. Another very STUPID idea by the DEMOCRATS. 2010 / 2012 is the solution.

Only real Reporters   October 19th, 2009 - 2:44 pm

Check sources. They were fast to report it because it was a story that made a tingle go up their leg. If the story leaned the other way I am sure they would check and stall reporting. Lib Media standard operations.

B17Engr   October 19th, 2009 - 2:45 pm

Hey Al Gore! We saved the world from overheating.HA! HA! HA!
It snowed here in MASSatueshts.
Lived here all my life.
I have never seen it snow at this time of year and I’m 85 yrs old.
Globe warming is the BIGGEST HOAX since the Maddoff ripoff!

I guess you cooled off the earth with all the money you’re stealing,
so give us back the heat!
The Earth is actually getting colder dummy Al!

Liberals Are Parasites   October 19th, 2009 - 2:51 pm

Good God these people are idiots. Don’t they EVER check their stories.

Phil   October 19th, 2009 - 2:56 pm

I laughed so hard I cried..Talk about getting caught with your pants down. No wonder so many people don’t believe a word that comes from reporters mouths anymore.

PA Citizen   October 19th, 2009 - 2:56 pm

NBC NEVER checks their facts or their sources. They are horrible.

Liberal Funke   October 19th, 2009 - 2:58 pm

Will Rahm and the WH quit talking to CNBC because they really aren’t a news station?

Other   October 19th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

Reuters has been complicit in past hoaxes.
They created and stood by a very false version of the Jenin Massacre.

Joshua   October 19th, 2009 - 3:03 pm

…but it had their logo on it. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

tom   October 19th, 2009 - 3:08 pm

I guess that you have to watch cnbc to believe wha they say….

shane2813   October 19th, 2009 - 3:14 pm

The Old Leftist Media is imploding. When you build your house on a foundation of lies it will end up destroying you. When your in the business of giving people accurate information and you fail to do so you DIE!!! GO AWAY YOUR SERVICES ARE NO LONGER NEEDED!!! YOU LIE YOU LIE YOU LIE MMM MMM MMM. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same Ask the LIARS at NBC.

FastFacts   October 19th, 2009 - 3:30 pm

I said that “CNN wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on the butt,” I guess the same goes with Reuters and CNBC. CNBC is the same news source that scrubbed their databases of any questionable czar videos. The funny thing is that they aren’t smart enough to erase the actual pages those videos were on with the summary of the videos. Idiots.

DavidS   October 19th, 2009 - 3:30 pm

CNBC, MSNBC, NBC are SO INCLINED to believe certain press releases that it makes no sense for them to fact check. Unfortunately, this event won’t be their epiphany and we’ll all have to continue putting up with their biased reporting. Oh, there IS that other network that the Obama administration is trying to muzzle…

ExposeBernankie/Geithner   October 19th, 2009 - 3:43 pm

THIS.. IS ONLY ONE of the hoaxes being perpetrated right in front of you in plain view! HERE are the REST of them… http://www.infowars.com … You’de better Wake-Up and Wake your neighbors UP!!!

Thor   October 19th, 2009 - 4:16 pm

Keep your eye on the real picture folks. This aptly demonstrates that you cannot trust what you see on these left of center so called news and business programs because their transmission is predicated on ttheir idealogically driven leftist agenda rather than FACTUAL NEWS.

pepito cojones   October 19th, 2009 - 4:32 pm

Ha-Ha-Ha… what a bunch of doofuses!

Eddie   October 19th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

And they wonder why they are so far behind other news agencies in the ratings???

SteveZ71   October 19th, 2009 - 4:41 pm

HA HA HA Maybe they should have tried “The Boy in the Balloon” HOAX….they might have convinced more viewers and had better luck!! Dumb-a$$es!!!

H2K   October 19th, 2009 - 5:02 pm

ANY idiot would have known that was a hoax. Why? Because the Chamber of Commerce is pro-business, cap n’ trade and this climate change horse.sh.it is anti-business.
When you are anti-business, you are anti-lifestyle, anti-progress, anti-innovation, etc, etc.

Sundowner   October 19th, 2009 - 5:35 pm

My God liberals and socialists are freaking stupid! Here’s Gordon Brown, the empty suit from across the pond…

Nevermind the fact they NEVER produce any evidence, just keep saying it long enough in soaks right into those squishy, dulled, lifeless liberal melons.

WeDon'tNeedNoStinkingSources   October 19th, 2009 - 6:04 pm

They’re nothing but gossip columnists. So unprofessional!

Steven W. Kerr   October 19th, 2009 - 6:05 pm

SOURCE AND VERIFY YOUR SOURCES JOURNALISM 101

BJC   October 19th, 2009 - 6:05 pm

Love the question at the end…Was the White House involved? Haaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaa ANITA? ANITA? where are you? Look forward to hearing Anita throw stones at MSNBC for fake news. I guess we need a Fact Check on all these liberal talking shows?

Jerry Phillips   October 19th, 2009 - 6:18 pm

Alright! I have to give kudos to the perpetrator who sent in this news piece! I love it! This show you who doesn’t check their sources! What a bunch of fools, and the people who watch this CRAP are also fools! I love it!!! Keep up the good work you stupid idiots!

melli50   October 19th, 2009 - 7:01 pm

Do these guys ever check their sources before they run a story?

Derrylane   October 19th, 2009 - 7:29 pm

What are these people smoking? Are they for real? News worthy? NOT

American Dude   October 19th, 2009 - 9:34 pm

Smitty   October 20th, 2009 - 4:31 pm

Funny thing is that FIX noise reported it at the same time and got punked just as well. I never laughed so hard in my life! And all set up for you Fix noise one chromosome shy morons out there.

SirWinston   October 20th, 2009 - 10:48 pm

Four questions:

1. Did CNBC fall for the hoax news release on climate change or did it conspire with others to help create the hoax and use the information, along with others, to advance its agenda on this issue and future issues?

2. If there are no laws on the books to prosecute to the fullest those who helped perpetrate this hoax, shouldn’t there be?

3. Where is the governmental and public outrage concerning activities of this sort?

4. Where is the US Justice Department/FBI, Congress (lol) or special prosecutors/independent legal authorities?
