Cable News Winds Up Mostly Ignoring Terrifying Climate Change Report for a Full Day

Any hopes that the biggest hitters in cable news would rectify their networks' near-total blackout of a major climate change report on Monday were mostly dashed.

HuffPost's Michael Calderone wrote on Monday afternoon about how the biggest three cable networks had almost completely ignored the report from the UN, which both detailed the grave dangers to humanity stemming from climate change and called for swift action in response.

The report got better play elsewhere on television; "NBC Nightly News," for instance, led off its entire broadcast with a segment on its implications.  ABC's "World News" and the "CBS Evening News"(11:38) also had detailed segments.
