I guess it’s a show on NBC.  I don’t know, because I don’t watch much television.  But I guess it was party of NBC’s green week, where the network is saving the earth by shutting off lights during broadcasts while flying reporters to the poles to do remote broadcasts from ice floes.

Anyway, you can watch the episode by clicking here.

Why should you care that Al Gore was on 30 Rock?  You shouldn’t, except in that it demonstrates just how far the liberal entertainment industry is willing to go to promote their ideological dogma.  As Hot Air notes:

NBC’s green week exposes one truth about liberalism that they would have been wise to have kept to themselves. Namely, they’re perfectly fine with creating and using overt propaganda if it fits their agenda. For instance, if the NBC or any other network (cough Fox cough) had decided to have a jihad awareness week, can you imagine the noise the left would make? And if Dick Cheney or some other top tier Republican starred in it? Can. You. Imagine it?

I can.  Of course, the right has been pretty rough on NBC over this whole “green week” thing too, but then when the political right gets agitated about something it usually isn’t accompanied by an endless stream of news stories about it from Reuters, the Associated Press, etc.  Plus, the media never buys into any right-wing initiative like they buy into liberalism.  Can you imagine NBC doing a week to raise awareness about what the lack of school choice is doing to the poor families who have to send their kids to failing inner city schools?  NBC wouldn’t touch that except on one of their news programs, at which point they’d feel the need to “balance” support for vouchers with propaganda from teacher’s unions.

But balance from opponents of the global warming hype?  Not needed, I guess.

What will be really interesting is to see how this impacts NBC’s ratings.  They’re only doing it for a week, so it’d be hard to do a good analysis, but I can’t imagine that the average American who is turning into NBC’s sitcom or sports programming enjoys being preached to by the global warming zealots.
