Fox News Says Texas Prayers Were Answered - Were not

1 decade 2 years 8 months ago

Liberal Viewer:

When Fox News' Harris Faulkner reported Texas Gov Rick Perry's announcement he's running for the Republican nomination for US President, the subsequent story on recent Texas rain was especially insidious in the way it possibly undermined the science behind man-made climate change and hid the actual ineffectiveness of Rick Perry's public prayers, as I show in this video.

The clip I show of Harris Faulkner comes from a longer segment of Fox News' August, 13, 2011, broadcast of "The Fox Report" (which I have not found available online)

The clip I show of the late, great comedian Bill Hicks comes from a longer segment of Comedy Central's February 24, 1992, broadcast of "The A-List" available online at http://bit.ly/HicksDrought

The image I use of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's April 21, 2011, proclamation calling for prayers for rain comes from the webpage at http://bit.ly/PerryRainPrayer

The image I use of the August 13, 2011, Dallas Morning News article titled "Rain showers give area a little welcome relief" comes from the webpage at http://dallasne.ws/nlzvQw

The image I use of the drought prediction from the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center comes from the webpage at http://1.usa.gov/p5dPTZ

The image I use of the drought prediction from the 2007 article in Science magazine comes from the webpage at http://bit.ly/SWDrought

The image I use of the August 13, 2011 NY Times article titled "As Texas Dries Out, Life Falters and Fades" comes from the webpage at http://nyti.ms/r2TCDo
