The news media insist that democracy has withered dangerously under President Trump, but on certain issues, these same journalists insist there can be no debate. Exhibit A: Climate change.
On Saturday, PBS and NPR aired segments on climate that only talked to Obama appointees about what a President Biden might do. The PBS NewsHour segment carried the headline “Biden has big climate change plans. But can he get it done?”
The massive government intervention, all the regulation and federal spending, is described by the liberal propaganda networks as “ambitious.”
Weekend PBS NewsHour host Hari Sreenivasan introduced the segment: “President-elect Joe Biden has pledged that on day one of his administration the U.S. will rejoin the Paris Accords. It's part of a set of ambitious climate pledges Biden made during the campaign.”
Reporter Christopher Booker repeated: “Biden campaigned on an ambitious plan to combat climate change, including a $2 trillion proposal to spur the transition to clean energy, aiming to remove greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector by 2035 and the entire economy by 2050.”
Biden actually said he would move to “end fossil fuels.” Any opposition to that? No.
Booker only interviewed two Obama administration appointees, Jason Bordoff of Columbia University and Nat Keohane of the Environmental Defense Fund, to lay out how these “ambitions” need to be met. There wasn’t any opposing view on anything.
