Fox News: NBC airing Live Earth a political gift to Gore

David Edwards and Josh CatonePublished: Thursday July 5, 2007
Fox News Host John Gibson today slammed NBC for its scheduled airing of the 'Live Earth' concerts this weekend that intend to raise awareness about global warming.
Gibson argued that because former Vice President Al Gore, who is behind the concerts, is a prominent political figure who some believe might run for president in 2008, NBC was actually giving Gore what amounted to an in kind political donation if he decides to run.
He asked why Democrats aren't objecting to NBC's "gift of unequal time for just one side of a controversial issue."
Gibson's guest, Clay Waters of the Media Research Center, agreed with him. "You cannot get away from the politics here," said Waters. "I wish NBC had thought about this. NBC seems proud to be pushing [the concerts], and like you said, if Gore does run, I mean this could be the largest in kind contribution in American political history."
In an editorial on the Fox News web site on Tuesday, Gibson argued that the Live Earth concerts were a calculated move by Gore to gain political capital.
"Does anybody think the Live Earth concerts are not a political statement by Gore's supporters that will end up benefiting Al Gore?" he asked. "Does anybody think Al Gore isn't running for president? I know he's said he's not, and every time I get a Democrat analyst sitting next to me, he or she says he's not. But it sure looks like he's running to me."
The following video is from Fox's Big Show, broadcast on July 5.
