81% of guests booked by Fox News opposed regulating greenhouse gasses
Source: Raw Story
By David Edwards

Over three-quarters of the guests featured on nine television networks have expressed opposition to an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandate to regulate greenhouse gasses (GHG), according to a new report.

On April 2, 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that the Clean Air Act gave the EPA the authority to regulate greenhouse gasses. It wasn't until December 2009, after President George W. Bush left office, that the EPA began to move toward regulation by issuing a GHG scientific endangerment finding.

The report released by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters Tuesday concluded that over the 17 months since that EPA finding, 152 of the 199 guests -- or more than 76 percent -- opposed regulation. Only 17 percent of the guests spoke in favor of climate regulations.

The report said that Fox News, Fox Business and CNBC were the worst offenders.

2. Wow, this is incredibly amazing -- do you mean that nearly one-fourth wanted something done?
Faux News has really slipped up there. ;-)
