Is the planet in peril or not? Depends if you watch CNN or CNN Headline News.

Jonathan Klein, the inept President of CNN, is doing it again.

On the one hand, CNN has been promoting this week's special, "Planet in Peril" almost non-stop. CNN actually changed its on-screen logo color to green to mark the occasion.

Yet, on his other network, CNN Headline News, Klein continues to give prime-time billing to global warming denier Glenn Beck. Think Progress has video of Beck's show from Tuesday night -- the very night Planet in Peril was airing.

So, Mr. Klein, is the planet in peril or not? On CNN, the planet is in peril. On CNN's Headline News, it's not. CNN is green. CNN's Headline News is not. How come Anderson Cooper, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and that animal planet guy aren't on Glenn Beck's show to explain why CNN thinks the planet is in peril? Maybe you could force Glenn Beck to watch "Planet in Peril" and hope he'll learn something.

Anderson, I hate to say this, but this is another example of Jon Klein letting Glenn Beck make a mockery of your work. Klein did it on Katrina, too. It's wrong, Anderson -- and, you know I'm on your side.
