One must love the “fair and balanced” journalism that Fox News so valiantly represents. An eye roll here, a name-call there — indeed Fox is the paradigm of responsible journalism and professional ettiquette.

Recently, FN pundit Glenn Beck  interviewed Matt Prescott from PETA regarding comments Robert F. Kennedy Jr. allegedly made regarding the connection between animal-agriculture and global warming.  

While I’d love to completely hate on the Beckster (cause it’s just so darn easy), I have to say that he wasn’t a TOTAL jerk throughout the interview. In fact, he gave Matt a pretty decent introduction. Beck said: 

“Here’ somebody who actually believes in global warming, and actually has the courage of his convictions and will change his life because of it — PETA spokesperson Matt Prescott joins me now.”

During the interview Prescott discusses how various studies — including the famous UN report in 2005 — have proven that animal-agriculture is the number one cause of global warming. Beck poses the question: “Why do you suppose the people like Al Gore – who is also not a vegetarian or vegan — why are they eating meat if they truly believe the world’s gonna come to an end in some sort of firey flood?” Good question, Glenn. We want to know that as well!

Prescott does a fantastic job with the interview and is above all well-spoken, polite and effective. Check out the whole clip below!
