Quote2023 was the hottest year on record, and it was not even close. Testifying to this calamitous milestone were record-breaking extreme weather events and a record number of billion-dollar disasters — from searing heat waves to droughts, torrential rains to raging wildfires and plumes of smoke.

How did corporate media react?  They cut coverage of climate news by 25%.

Even at its height, climate reporting constituted barely more than 1% of total broadcast content.  News of the orange man and the  propaganda to re-frame the genocides America is complicit in dominate our cultural conditioning.

Competition has always been a thing in America.  Competition is considered to be the natural state of human affairs there.  Competition defined the American state and now it ushers in the American demise.  Those who benefit from current arrangements fight to keep current arrangements from changing.  The unwritten memo between the elites says "Maintain the ignorance as long as you can. Send the message the American people will get through this.  Avoid the truth."

Continue to send the message that the world we force onto everyone else is the best of all possible worlds.

In 2023, corporate broadcast TV news covered climate change for 1,032 minutes. This marked a considerable decrease from the 1,374 minutes aired in 2022 and the 1,316 minutes aired in 2021.
