A brief mention.

The lazy and incompetent media is at it again.  This past Sunday more than 400,000 people turned up for the People's Climate March in New York City. This, just days before the world's leaders will debate environmental action at the United Nations climate summit. I would call this a huge, important story. But apparently the broadcast news media wouldn't. They were much more involved in reporting which NFL players had abused their wives or hit their children. And why not?  It's juicier and much easier to cover. How can it compare with the largest climate march in history? They did give it a kind of mention, a few shots of the crowd, a few comments about its importance. But nothing to compare with whether Ray Rice will be welcomed back on the playing field. After all, how can the approaching dangers of global warming possibly compare to debating about the few seconds possibly snipped from the elevator video?
