Here’s another little piece of evidence that the Murdoch family buying the National Geographic Channel isn’t turning it into a right-wing property. A forthcoming special Sea of Hope – debuting January 15 – includes footage of President Obama visiting a Hawaiian island to meet with “legendary scientist” Sylvia Earle as she shows him a new tropical fish species named after him.
In the following clip, marine biologist Richard Pyle claims the fish has a “hope” logo on the dorsal fin, and asks Earle to ask the president for his permission to have a fish named in his honor, since he wants him to be “a willing participant in this.”
