How is the MSM covering the Paris report?

Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 10:55 AM by oldtime dfl_er

I watched Canadian news this morning, and they led with the story of the Paris report on climate change (which states categorically that humans are almost certainly responsible for global warming. The reporter, Harry Forrestal, called the report "alarming" and "terrifying" and much time was given to the story.

I'm curious as to how CNN and others may have covered this, or not...

1. They're too busy covering freak tornadoes in Florida that killed

14 people so far. That sort of ties in perhaps...

8. Even the Marketplace report mentioned it

its the NPR money/financial news segment. they included a story about the "think tank" offering money to scientists who will oppose the report.

4. It's all over the local news

Southern California is covering it on all the local news stations as breaking. Radio coverage also. This is big!

5. The only "Paris Report" the M$M is worried about is who

Paris Hilton is sleeping with, or how much she had to drink last night. Who cares about global warming when you have hot, rich, young blondes gone wild?

6. It has been the lead story on the NPR hourly news this

morning. I see that it is the lead in the NY Times online and second story on Washington Post online. That's all I have.

7. BBC International is giving it non-stop coverage.

Haven't heard a word on MSM in the US.
Seriously though, this is massive devastation in Florida. Must be mind-blowing to go to bed in your home and wake up and have not even a room left. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed and several people were killed.
