Out of all the takeaways from CNN’s climate change town hall with ten Democrats last night, this one is the most “journalism-y” of them all:
The contrast simply could not be any more stark. While top Dems shared their detailed plans for addressing the climate crisis, Trump and a handful of his allies continued to make completely false claims about Hurricane Dorian… https://t.co/2Pfbuzqfns

Well, that’s one way to analyze what happened on CNN last night. Here are some others:
Right. These plans include population control, banning gas-fueled cars, forcing us to eat less meat, and other authoritarian fantasies. But Trump should thank CNN for its huge in-kind donation to his re-election campaign! https://t.co/6jJQPp7PyK

"Detailed", as in blazingly stupid.
No oil, no gas, no coal, no red meat while driving our nation straight into poverty.

Those are way more accurate than “detailed plans for addressing the climate crisis.”
Does Brian get checks directly from the DNC or do they launder it through CNN first? https://t.co/15JG0cRbtT

That’s anybody’s guess.
“Detailed plans” meaning BAN EVERYTHING.

Yes, the Dems showed us their plan – tax, ban, or confiscate just about everything. In the middle of that horror show you're complaining about Trump using a 24 hour old forecast of the storm's path to say it might hit Alabama.

Did CNN live fact check any of those “detailed plans”?

Yep, that sure was special.
You sound like the DNC, but then again, that's every night. Your entire network is blaming climate change for Hurricane #Dorian's entire existence, so I'd say chillax on the false claims re: #Dorian https://t.co/gtjhDZLV2s

That’s exactly how Wolf Blitzer opened CNN’s climate clown show last night.
