Rupert Murdoch Climbs Aboard the Global Warming Bandwagon

Liberals might want to rethink their festering hatred of News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch, whose willingness to indulge global warming moonbattery goes well beyond the climate change pandering infecting 24.
His British BSkyB satellite TV customers get free energy-efficient light bulbs and low-flow showerheads with their set-top boxes. Fox-owned TV stations in the US are encouraged to join the FOX-e energy team, which aims to save the planet by turning off unused lights and appliances.
Murdoch has declared that News Corp. will be "carbon neutral" by 2010. This entails the usual symbolic "energy efficiency measures," as well as participating in carbon offset swindles. Hey, it's his money.
Much more disturbing than this PR silliness is the threat of his using the various media at his disposal to brainwash the public with dangerous global warming propaganda. Ominously, Murdoch proclaims:
Our audience's carbon footprint is 10,000 times bigger than ours. That's the carbon footprint we want to conquer.
The more dupes are convinced to buy into the global warming hoax, the more likely it is that leftist demagogues will use it to impose backdoor socialism and to cripple our economy with ruinous taxes and excessive regulations.
Murdoch has also been shoveling money at disreputable characters like Hillary Clinton and even John Edwards. But he still pays Bill O'Reilly's paycheck, so libs continue to hate his guts.
