It Was the Longest Debate So Far, But CNN & NYT Asked No Questions on Climate Crisis & Immigration
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#4SPAJ)
Despite ongoing climate chaos and a sustained humanitarian disaster at the southern border, The New York Times and CNN failed to ask candidates directly about immigration or the climate crisis at Tuesday night's Democratic presidential debate. We speak with Marielena Hincapii(C), executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, who says the lack of attention to immigraton "was a major gap in the three-hour debate." We also speak with journalist Kate Aronoff about the debate's failure to address the climate crisis.
