Mirkinson's article noted that today's scheduled 'debate' on Meet the Press (MTP) over climate change would be a complete waste of time. And indeed that's exactly what it turned out to be. Mirkinson noted that it's just bad journalism to set up two sides to this, as if there really is an actual debate on human-caused climate change when around 98% of climate scientists already agree on this. MTP's Gregory had to even interupt the regressive representative Blackburn on saying there is not consensus on this, basically telling her she was full of shit.
If Gregory knew this then why the hell waste time on having her 'side' of this, i.e., the completely wrong side. Nye the science guy said we should be focusing on what to do about the situation right now. And that is indeed what these shows should be doing. I'm amazed at the complete blackout in American media of Jeremy Rifkin's work, which much of the rest of the civilized world is already implementing to reverse the problem. Why don't these shows interview Rifkin? Not even a peep on MSNBC.
