MSNBC Goes All The Way To Antarctica To Report About The North Pole

This MSNBC report is about the ice cap disappearing at the north pole, something that is apparently creating havoc among the penguin population there.  Except, there’s just one problem.  The last time I checked (and I used to live pretty close to the arctic circle) there weren’t any penguins at the north pole.

As Ed Morrissey notes:

The “expanses of water that weren’t there before” were actually never there at the North Pole. All 17 species of penguins live in the southern hemisphere.

Why would penguins make the long and rather warm journey across the equator to appear in an MS-NBC story about global warming?

Perhaps because it’s convenient for the sort of scientifically-illiterate global warming propaganda MSNBC is trying to spread?

This summarizes the global warming media hype in a nut shell.

Fortunately, the report doesn’t have an agenda.

Did I miss something? The video that I just watched mentioned nothing about penguins. It was all about some teenage girl from the UK going to the North Pole to make a documentary. They talked about the ice cap disappearing but nothing about penguins.

Andrew.  At the :50 mark, one or two penguins are shown on a piece of ice.
This story is about yet another “first” for a girl.  To walk on ice in the Antarctic, and also about the hoax of global warming.  As noted, penguins live at the South Pole. 

Remember the canoes paddling in “flooded” areas as a person walks by ankle deep!!  These people fabricate “news” stories.  Stories was a word one principal at my school insisted on using to describe other students lies.
Mohair, I see you were able to download a picture.

That’s too good. The sad part is that no one at MSNBC, from the film editor to the reporter to the producer caught the fact that penguins don’t live in the Arctic.

Does anyone check anything over there?

Yeesh.

Ok, I missed that part the first time. From the post, it seemed as if the video was going to be about penguins rather than a brief clip of them. I thought that I was somehow watching the wrong video.

“See! The arctic ice is melting away! These poor penguins barely have anywhere to stand! We just proved that global warming is endangering wildlife!”

Sad.

The only thing missing is the revelation that those are actually computer-generated images of penguins.

Check the 46 second mark.

The 15 year old Arctic explorer is kinda cute though.  Some kind of fur collared coat wearing Hannah Montana.  I like the accent.  Her “bum gets cold” when going to the bathroom in the Arctic Circle.  And she needed to learn to use a gun to protect against Polar Bears.  She would be the bell of the ball at a party in Bitter America where we cling to our guns, except that she is an immigrant and most of us cling to anti-immigrant sentiments

First, this is problematic because I didn’t think Brits were allowed to own or shoot guns.  Second, SHOOTING AN EFFING POLAR BEAR?  AREN’T THEY ALREADY ABOUT TO ALL DIE FROM GLOBAL WARMING?  Sounds like she needs to join the NRA and hunt humans like the rich folks that hunted Ice-T.  I want a polar bear coat lined with baby seal fur personally or maybe lined with Eight Belles skin.  Shooting Polar bears.  My word.

Heh. If they’re declared an endangered species you’d better hurry and shoot one before they’re all gone. I hear they make great rugs.

MSNBC has conveniently edited the polar penguins out of the video.

Bruce on May 6, 2008 at 02:28 pm

Why did the girl have to learn how to shoot a gun?  Didn’t Al Gore tell us that all of the polar bears are drowning?

H.  they edited out the penguins.  There were penguins on the original video.

Oh…..ok.

Well was the penguin footage originally at :50 on the clip counter or did Cheif just make a judgement call there?

H, yes, it was.

HG, no it wasn’t…it was at :45.  Cheif appears to have made a mistake.
