Broadcast Networks Largely Ignored Climate Change This Election Year | The Huffington Post
"Given
rapidly rising global temperatures, dramatic extreme weather events,
the global agreement to curb carbon emissions, and stark divisions among
the major party candidates, climate change deserved to be one of the
most talked-about issues of the campaign. And yet, outside of a passing
reference during the “town hall” presidential debate, the candidates
were not asked about it, despite the fact that queries about climate
change were the fourth most-popular question category submitted by the
public for the town hall debate, demonstrating that voters wanted to
hear about it."

ABC anchor David Muir’s World News Tonight cited climate change only once this year in passing, but aired at least six pieces on NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
