this cartoon is perfect from a rightist point of view--maybe the best of the bunch even--it's the perfect combination of fact, fear, distortion and exaggeration:

Well, technically it is global CLIMATE CHANGE people are worried about, rather than global warming. But I suppose you wouldn't know that if all you read is Georgia science text books.

http://www.caglecartoons.com/images/preview/%7B21B49B61-A25E-4C41-A95F-5025AB56C20A%7D.gif
1) It's another standard "media pays attention to the wrong things" riff, which I guess is still somewhat positive that even the most authoritarian followers still have an idea that having a media is a good thing, but
2) complaining about them covering pointless shit and not, say, U.S. troop deaths when they've spent _years_ vociferously supporting the assholes who've completely prohibited coverage of returning coffins, who go out of their way on a pretty much weekly to downplay loss of life("why, we lost FAR more in WWII, what are these DFH complaining about?!") and overall sacrifice that a very few american citizens are having to make b/c of all this, and who deliberately want a Murdoch-style bullshit tabloid media where entertainment is now information, etc.
but yeah, compartmentalized thinking, lack of self-awareness, simplistic causation, etc etc etc
