here we go again! The recent vice presidential debate was entertaining in every way, from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's gaffe about being friends with a school shooter to Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance's refusal to allow a moderator to mislead viewers about Haiti, Ohio The human condition. [emphasis, links added]
However, we focus on climate issues that are relatively underanalysed.
Compared with the debate between Trump and Kamala Harris, this debate is far less “the host and the Democratic candidate teamed up against the Republican candidate.”
But that certainly doesn't mean the hosts, CBS News' Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan, completely avoided injecting partisan lines into the conversation.
The hosts, CBS, immediately showed their bias.
After the opening question about Israel and Iran, which was a perfectly logical lead-in topic, because as the debate went on missiles literally rained down on Israel, Climate change is the second-ranked issue, ahead of the economy and illegal immigration, even though it ranks at or near the bottom in voter polls.
In every poll, climate change ranks well below inflation, health care, education, crime and illegal immigration.
But because it's a prominent liberal cause, it's more important to left-leaning media than issues of greater importance to voters. As such, it figured prominently in the CBS host's questioning and subsequent conduct.
After Hurricane Helene, O'Donnell raised a question about climate change, which he claimed was making hurricanes “bigger, stronger and deadlier due to historic rainfall.”
Of course, the data showed that was wrong, but her superiors felt it was necessary to ensure that she used the tragedy to pressure the Republican vice presidential nominee and raise the issue emotionally.
She posed the following question to Vance. She said a CBS poll found that “more than 60% of Republicans under the age of 45 support U.S. efforts to take steps to reduce climate change.” She asked him what the Trump administration would do to reduce climate change. climate change. …
Vance deftly sidestepped CBS's slanted question, explaining that the Trump campaign's environmental policy focus is on clean air and water, noting The Biden administration's policies have led us to export our manufacturing base to places like China, leading to more emissions.
It’s not an argument we like because it gives too much credit to the alarmist narrative and allows the Trump campaign to propose terrible ideas like the CERTIFICATE Act and other carbon tax prerequisites, but it’s useful in the debate to avoid being Caught in a discussion of what Vance rightly calls the “weird science” of climate change.
Predictably, Governor Walz's response immediately confirmed CBS's misinformation, saying Helen “roared to the scene faster and stronger than anything we've ever seen.”
CBS refuses to fact-check false claims. As terrible as Helen is, Many hurricanes throughout history have been more powerful, destructive and deadly than her.
Walz then touted the Inflation Reduction Act, which may be one of the most deceptive bills since the Affordable Care Act.
The most surprising part of this part of the debate, however, came at the end of a relatively reasonable discussion about energy, foreign manufacturing and emissions, and it didn't come from any of the candidates.
Walz lied during his brief response, saying gas and oil supplies were not suspended, before host O'Donnell interrupted him to tell him that time was up, Without even breathing, he concluded: “[t]The overwhelming consensus among scientists is that the Earth's climate is warming at an unprecedented rate. Margaret?
Host Margaret Brennan moved seamlessly to the next question about immigration.
She gave no candidate time to respond to her haphazard injection into the scientific establishment to the people climate narrative argument, Looks really simple She was asked to say this at some point during the question period.
CBS had agreed that its hosts would not “fact-check” candidates, but it repeatedly lied and did so when it came to Vance's statements.
It seems The media does not allow free speech when it comes to the Trump/Vance campaign. Rather than letting Walz respond to Vance, we believe CBS decided that any response he did would be insufficient, and CBS had the alarmist talking points on hand to respond for him.
Surprised by how random the comment seemed, and because CBS hosts have repeatedly provided misinformation, we looked into the context of CBS' climate reporting and found it to be predictable, but also shameful.
CBS has partnered with a radical climate advocacy group called Cover Climate Now (CCN), which urges journalists to tie everything to climate change and environmental justice and instructs them to never stand up for “climate deniers.”
Who are climate denialists? Anyone who balks at the definition of “fast, forceful action,” or anyone who takes issue with the consensus narrative.
[CCN] is an organization’s nightmare, blatantly publicized, and News organizations like CBS News do their bidding.
Keep your eyes open and see who Climate Coverage Now partners are — what you find may not be all that surprising.
