Senate Democrats pledging to get more aggressive on climate change will soon pressure the major TV networks to give the topic far greater attention on the Sunday talking-head shows.
Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, are gathering colleagues' signatures on a letter to the networks asserting that they're ignoring global warming.
"It is beyond my comprehension that you have ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox, that their Sunday shows have discussed climate change in 2012, collectively, for all of eight minutes," Sanders said, citing analysis by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America.

This is why TVs come with remotes.
With of course the implied threat that the FCC will make their lives a living hell if they do not comply.
Hippy Dippy Weatherman.....Carlin
Why do you think that happened?
I’ve finally figured out why the Global Warming push.
I was watching a show called Africa on I think Animal Planet.
They were showing of Africans were helping to save wildlife and re-plant trees.
Then I thought, “Where are they getting the $$$ to do this?”
Paying people to protect animals.
Paying people to plant trees to prevent further desert growth.
The answer I suspect is “Cap and Trade” taxes collected from the USA.
This maps with Van Jones being originally assigned to environmental issues under Obama.
California likes to spend $$$ protecting animals so its a “Feel Good” law.
“Cap and Trade” tax targets corporations so voters don’t feel like they are effected.
The end result is Billions more of USA tax money gets funneled into Africa without Congressional oversite thru “Cap and Trade” which has no sunset clause and will only increase over time.
LOL - Good one G.
-Because efforts to redistribute wealth using climate as an excuse have fallen flat
-It is really low on issue priority lists for voters
-The carbon credit market has essentially collapsed
-MSM customer apathy on the subject
Or a combination of these.
But the amount of MSM coverage on the subject has nothing to do with climate or the lack of change in the climate.
True, but media coverage does have something to do with how much money can be taken from American taxpayers. Warmists want the equivalent of free advertising - advertising that sells the cause AND the need for funding'...
These idiots may find their influence backfire. The problem the media is having with “man made global warming” is that it now threatens their credibility. If they start reporting, they may have to start sharing facts. The dems might not like how the media reports on Global Warming.
Here's yer glow-bull warming:
They’re still grumpy because Caliph Baraq used up the 24 months of Democrat control to pass Obamacare and whiffed on Cap’N’Tax.
In other words, stop giving airtime and column inches to climate change “deniers.”
