About this Petition Pledge

Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation is a global media company that owns everything from newspapers to television networks to film studios. Ever watched National Geographic? How about Fox news? Read the Wall Street Journal or the New York Post? American Idol anyone? Yup, those are all owned, at least in part, by News Corp.

One corporation with so much control over what we read and watch might have you worried. Thankfully, Rupert Murdoch wants News Corp. to be a good, green corporate citizen. The company has stated publicly that "News Corporation is committed to addressing its impact on climate change." They also say they "hope to engage our audiences and enable them to find ways to reduce carbon emissions in their own lives."

So why is News Corp. giving so much air time and column inches to people who attack climate science and mislead the public?

Sean Hannity on a recent Fox News broadcast said "I don't believe climate change is real. I think this is global warming hysteria and alarmism." And in a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel said "the inconvenient truth is that the earth's temperatures have flat-lined since 2001."

Please urge News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch to match his corporation's green pledges with real action. Tell him we aren't entertained by scientific misinformation.
