Corporate Media's Climate Silence: Why They Won't Tell You The Truth | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a report from Mother Jones by Kiera Butler detailing how major corporate television networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox) spent a combined total of less than one hour (50 minutes) covering climate change throughout the entire year of 2016. Graham breaks down media complicity, corporate fossil fuel influence (such as the American Petroleum Institute), the failure of networks to challenge climate denialism with scientific facts, and the Trump administration's attacks on public broadcasting (PBS) while distracting the public with trivial news.
