Sunday Shows Bat .001 on Global Warming

Bill Scher's picture

Since we began our Weekend Watchdog feature eight months ago, we've called on the Sunday shows to ask questions about global warming and clean energy seven times.

Not once have the Sunday shows responded to our call.

But we won't take it personally. Because the Sunday shows pretty much never bring up global warming.

The League of Conservation Voters tallied up all the questions asked by the Sunday shows in 2007: all 2,275 of them.

And how many involved global warming? Just three.

It's not like it's an urgent matter or anything.

Regardless, LCV has launched a new website, video and petition, calling on the Sunday shows to prioritize global warming in their interviews throughout 2008.

Check out the video below, and sign the petition.
