From Inhofe's statement:
Today's hearing is the fourth global warming hearing I have held as Committee chairman. We will examine the media's role in presenting the science of climate change. Poorly conceived policy decisions may result from the media's over-hyped reporting. Much of the mainstream media has subverted its role as an objective source of information on climate change into the role of an advocate. We have seen examples of this overwhelmingly one sided reporting by "60 Minutes" reporter Scott Pelley, ABC News's Bill Blakemore, CNN's Miles O'Brien, Time Magazine, the Associated Press and Reuters, to name just a very few outlets.
