The Best And Worst Media Interviews With Climate-Denying Presidential Candidates

A new Media Matters study has found that outside of MSNBC, major broadcast and cable television outlets are failing to fact-check climate science denial by presidential candidates 75 percent of the time. But it's worth taking a closer look at how television program hosts have handled their face-to-face interviews with presidential candidates, since these high-profile interviews often get a substantial amount of attention and can shape media discussions for days or even weeks to come.  
So how are TV hosts responding when presidential candidates spout climate science denial in real time? It depends which channel you're watching.
CNN's Jake Tapper has offered an instructive example of how to address presidential candidates' climate denial during his interviews with real estate mogul Donald Trump and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA). On the June 28 edition of CNN's State of the Union, Tapper responded to Trump's declaration that he is "not a huge believer in the global warming phenomenon" by telling Trump that "the overwhelming majority of scientists say it's real and it's man-made."
i still hold firm to my belief that the opposition to climate change and human involvement is do to the fact that if republicans embrace it as a reality they will have no leg to stand on when trying to protect big business from polluting the environment, thereby opening the doors for regulation of factories and other pollutant creating manufacturers costing them millions to keep from killing us off for another dime.

that is a republican no no business first it's like their rule of acquisition, some might remember that from Star Trek Deep Space Nine and the Ferengi.  after all some of their antics are truly from out of space, check out the interviews in the article.
