Laurie David is pissed off because the democratic debate in Texas the other day was sponsored the coal industry and promoted by CNN.
Not a single question about how America could kick our oil addiction, or how we might rejoin the international commitment to address global warming. Nada.
Instead viewers were left with the coal industry's ridiculous ads -- part of a
$35 million PR campaign by the coal industry -- which further confuse Americans about King Coal's pollution legacy. When will CNN and other debate hosts ask the tough questions -- or any questions -- about the biggest threat to the planet?
