It looks like NBC once again is being accused of being bias toward the liberal left and it's people and agendas. Al Gore and the Live Earth propoganda was given numerous hours of free airtime. The content that was put out went 100% unchallenged. There were zero differing opinions or facts presented during the Live Earth event.
Some conservatives and those on the far right are crying foul. Saying that NBC did not provide proper opportunity under the Fairness Doctrine to the other sides opinion. Here's the kicker, they don't have to. Al Gore is not running for any political office. Because of that, NBC can claim this is a non political event. This event is a current issues event that all should be a part of.
This does show that NBC no longer wishes to be a news or fair reporting broadcaster. NBC is only interested in broadcasting events and facts that support the opinions of it's high level employees and executives. Networks once were expected to present the facts on both sides of an issue and let the viewer decide for themselves. NBC execs have decided they know what's right and wrong and only present the facts that they believe tell the story they want told.
That is what has become of our major networks. NBC, CBS, and ABC are all decidedly left leaning networks. Anybody that does not see this, is in complete denial because they agree with the information that is being filtered. Fox is the best of the worst. Fox is right leaning, but does a better job of giving the other side it's chance to speak.
That is why talk radio and the internet is booming. It is the last places that both sides can give their own unfiltered opinions.
