Media Analysis: "Is There a Nielsen-veto of Inconvenient Truths?"

"Our planet's climate is rapidly changing and threatening the future of our civilization, yet mainstream media outlets and many conservatives continue to ignore the problem. Why?"



"Is it because they dial-group their news coverage? Have entertainment values corrupted the honored role of news in our democracy?
