QuoteIn a move that may defy logic, The Discovery Company hired Sarah Palin to host an eight part series on TLC titled: "Sarah Palin's Alaska."
Discovery Company

The Discovery Company owns educational television channels such as the Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel ("TLC"), Animal Planet and Science Planet. These channels have earned their reputation of airing informative, scientific and educational programs about the Earth, weather patterns, animal habitats and ecological issues, to name a few.

Mark Burnett worked with Discovery from 1996 to 1999 producing "Eco-Challenge," which was the predecessor of his wildly successful "Survivor" series. Burnett is teaming up with Discovery again to produce "Sarah Palin's Alaska."

Sarah Palin on Environmental Issues

Gazelle Emami at The Huffington Post .com refers to Palin as a "notorious anti-environmentalist" in her article dated March 25, 2010 ("Sarah Palin teams Up With Discovery Company") Emami chronicles Palin's most anti-environment policies, including:


    * Palin fought the federal government's decision to include polar bears on the endangered species list.
    * Palin pushed to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is home to unique and diverse arctic species. The protection and preservation of these areas is vital to the world as we know it.
    * Sarah Palin continues to deny that human activities cause global warming and global climate change. She has gone so far as to write in the Washington Post Op-Ed section, "While we recognize the occurrence of these natural, cyclical environmental trends, we can't say with assurance that man's activities cause weather changes. We can say, however, that any potential benefits of proposed emissions reduction policies are far outweighed by their economic costs."
    * Had Measure 2 in Alaska been passed, it would have banned the practice of gunning down wolves from aircraft. This method of wolf control is considered cruel and is extremely painful for the wolves. Palin spent $400,000 of Alaska's money fighting Measure 2.
    * Palin also came out against Alaska's Measure 4. Measure 4 was a clean water initiative aimed at protecting Bristol Bay, which is one of the world's most productive salmon fisheries.

They're the Real Americans.  The ones that have bought into the big lies and really *believe* in this country.

You on the other hand are a Godless Commie who doesn't Believe that everything will work out because this is America, and America is the bestest country ever.

You're ruining it Kai, you have to Believe or God won't grant the prayers of the Real Americans.   :lulz:

They were awfully close to shutting down pebble mine-people do care quite a bit for fish here-then BAM full page ad in the paper with Sarah holding a huge salmon talking about how wonderful the wildlife protection measures we already have are, and that the mine would in no way harm anything.

And that was that.

No one's even that bothered that she quit before the end of her term.

BADGE OF HONOR

No, that's the history channel actually.  Discovery channel is devoted to reality shows about loggers and crab fishermen.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

I don't either really, it's always on at work.

Telarus

No, there's been plenty of "Ghost Hunters" and "A Haunting" type shows, which piss me the fuck off because my 10 yr old really likes to watch Discovery channel for all the nature and survival shows (and dig's Deadliest Catch and Dirty Jobs).

So then I have to spend a half hour explaining to him that these shows are filmed after the fact (usually) or just edit out all the boring "waiting around for something weird to happen", and just focus on the supposedly 'weird' events and hype them into some b/s "really-real" reality tht they sell to viewers.

Don't get me wrong, I leave the possibilities open. But these shows are DOING IT WRONG, and it's messing with my child's ability to discern fact from fiction.  :argh!:
