And there you have it ladies and gentlemen ... outside of college campuses you don't often get such in-your-face proud boasting about censorship ... complete with its own self-contradictions (bolded).
If Chuck Todd says "We’re not going to debate climate change, the existence of it. The earth is getting hotter and human activity is a major cause, period."
"We’re not going to give time to climate deniers,"..."The science is settled even if political opinion is not." and Bloomberg and Jerry Brown said so ... who are we to argue.
Ironic. Chuck Todd doesn't know enough about climate science to call it settled, but political opinion is what's settled for him.
To be honest about it, nobody has ever accused Todd of being fair and balanced.
NBC's Chuck Todd at the beginning of "Meet the Press" on Sunday said that his show is "not going to give time to climate deniers" before hosting an hourlong panel with lawmakers and experts about the consequences of climate change.
"This morning, we’re going to do something that we don’t often get to do: dive in on one topic,” Todd said after showing video clips of dramatic weather incidents in the last year. He continued that climate change is “a literally earth-changing subject that doesn’t get talked about this thoroughly, at least on television news."
...
Todd on Sunday said that his show would not not "confuse weather with climate."
The climate panel included multiple scientists and experts, as well as potential presidential contender Michael Bloomberg, climate activist California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) and Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.).

But isn't it refreshing to finally hear them take such pride in something they used to deny?

Chuck Todd is not afraid to announce to the world that he is stuck on scientifically stupid. What sort of moron keeps sucking up and spitting back out fake science propaganda without question?
Climate change denialism is a farce and Chuck is correct, even if in the political world people want to continue to wrangle over it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Right wing America is the only sizeable group in the world that denies climate change, they’ve been fed that propaganda for so long it’s engrainedand nothing penetrates it.
Climate-change deniers are on a scientific par with flat-earthers.
Good for Chuck Todd for not legitimizing such gut-feeling viewpoints.
I think it's disturbing that the likes of Todd will remove their dishonest mask and show their true bias. It means they know that their useful idiots either don't care or have been so completely propagandized by the bias they are lost as thinking beings.
If there were a downside to openly showing their bias, they would keep their mask on.
The leading scientific proponents of an alternative climate hypothesis (solar/GCR flux) are neither American nor right wing.
I watched this program and kept waiting for their fix since everyone on the program said something needs to be done immediately!!
Guess what the fix is? A TAX

You know this ... how? Because they said so. That ain't science.Climate-change deniers are on a scientific par with flat-earthers.
And protecting his job at NBC. I'm not suggesting he hasn't decided to believe in warming alarmism, I'm suggesting he doesn't actually know enough about it to make that decision.Good for Chuck Todd for not legitimizing such gut-feeling viewpoints.
He said without a hint of self reflection....

Chuck Todd says his show is 'not going to give time to climate deniers'
i can see an argument for this. the science which shows that a CO2 blanket affects the climate and that we are producing a whole ****load of it isn't really up for debate. also, you sort of have to know your audience. the deniers watch Fox, not NBC. let them go on Fox with their bull****.
i've been thinking about this where NPR is concerned, too. they interview Trumpists a lot, and i have to turn the radio off for like three minutes. i don't like listening to them spew half assed lies on legitimate media. that's what fox is for. do it there.
Good. Too often the media thinks it has to give equal presentation between an actual scientist and some rambling lawyer from a “pro-business” think tank. When you do that, it gives a false impression that these people are on equal footing.
You have a point. AFAIK, no AGW advocate has been an IBM Einstein Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, as has Nir Shaviv.
