Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Fox News, GOP killed climate bill
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blames Fox News and the “narcissistic hacks” in Congress for killing climate legislation.

There was plenty of handwringing after the sweeping energy and climate bill collapsed this year in the Senate, and some argued that the White House didn’t devote enough political muscle to get it passed. But Kennedy, a longtime environmental activist and president of the Waterkeeper Alliance, said those accusations are misguided.
...
There’s a lot of narcissistic hacks in both parties, and I think there’s a lot of corporate toadies in both parties,” he said. Although he did say there are some environmental “heroes” in Congress, including climate bill authors Sen. John Kerry and Rep. Ed Markey, both Massachusetts Democrats.

Kennedy also blasted the media, which he said failed to adequately inform the public about climate change. The news media is dominated by “extreme right-wing ideologues and Fox News and talk radio,” he said, and the mainstream media is simply an echo chamber.

1. Thanks for this!

It's about time that Kerry got this recognition (Markey, too, and, like you, I'm proud and grateful to be represented by both )
RFK is right about the media, too. They really have NOT been doing their job, and it's a disgrace.
