Default Great example of media dishonesty

ABC News actually takes a quote so out of context it practically reverses what Clinton said.

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4221285

This is the whole quote:

“Everybody knows that global warming is real...but we cannot solve it alone.”

“And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada — the rich counties — would say, ‘OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.’ We could do that.

“But if we did that, you know as well as I do, China and India and Indonesia and Vietnam and Mexico and Brazil and the Ukraine, and all the other countries will never agree to stay poor to save the planet for our grandchildren. The only way we can do this is if we get back in the world’s fight against global warming and prove it is good economics that we will create more jobs to build a sustainable economy that saves the planet for our children and grandchildren. It is the only way it will work.

What is and what was is still the same difference as is yesterday, or was today.

Ah that's fantastic! We may have officially moved from zero responsibility in journalism to a negative number. Makes me feel a whole lot better about spending my time watching sports and pornogra... I mean, sports, just sports.

ah yes... the "liberal media" news corporation that produced a laughable docu-drama, pinning the entirety of 9/11 on Bill Clinton...

who's surprised they can't apply logic and common sense to global warming either?
