SUBTLE DENIAL OF CLIMATE CHANGE CRISIS BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Ѽ This is why environmentalists must take it upon themselves to do the job of dissemination of climate news. Media has some half a dozen reasons to significantly dilute and distort the truth of climate change from conflict of interest, financial interests, corporate ties, corporate ownership, political biases and so on. They are masters of the art of sending exactly the opposite message without really appearing to be lying or disseminating faslsehoods. That is what we have to get around if the planet is to be saved. Bill Moyers, a senior editor at the magazine, agreed to appear. On the show, which aired April 30, he discussed topics such as the search for Earth-like planets. He didn’t bring up climate change; later, however, he wrote that he had wanted to include global warming among his talking points, as it’s “about the only interesting thing that the scientific community is sure will happen in the next 50 years.” According to Moyers, Fox told him to “pick something else.” A spokeswoman for Fox later disputed that, telling Business Insider, “We worked closely with him and his team, and there was never an issue on the topic of climate change.… To say he was told specifically not to discuss it would be false.”. The faith of public on the topic of climate change crisis is more fragile than the crumbling ice-sheets. The slightest of nudge by media giving a tangentially wrong slant shakes the faith of public entirely, and nothing can be sadder than that Ѽ
