Network Evening News Programs Yet To Address What Exxon Knew About Climate Change

In recent months, media investigations have revealed that Exxon Mobil peddled climate science denial for years after its scientists recognized that burning fossil fuels causes global warming, prompting New York's Attorney General to issue a subpoena to Exxon and all three Democratic presidential candidates to call for a federal probe of the company. But despite these developments, the nightly news programs of all three major broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- have failed to air a single segment addressing the evidence that Exxon knowingly deceived its shareholders and the public about climate change.

I was awoken the other night by an unpleasant itch on the bridge of my nose.

ClimateProgress: There was once a time when Rand Paul seemed like a moderate on climate change. A few months before he declared his candidacy for president, the Republican senator from Kentucky voted for an amendment stating that climate change is real and that humans contribute to it. He was one of only 15 Republicans to do so. Paul also told Bill Maher last year that hes not necessarily against regulating carbon dioxide, the main driver of human-caused global warming. But all that moderation went down the...
