From Inside Philanthropy by Michael Kavate

“Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ 11-minute jaunt in a rocketship got nearly as much airtime by TV morning shows as the climate emergency received in all of 2020, according to an analysis by Media Matters.The comparison illustrates the appalling, persistent climate silence among America’s largest broadcasters.

Enter the Climate Emergency Fund. The organization is also launching a new campaign to confront TV networks that have all but ignored the greatest threat to the future of human life on the planet.”
