At one point in Naomi Klein's interview, she describes a news story in which an airplane ended up stuck on the tarmac in Washington D.C. during record breaking heat. She points out that no reports mentioned anything about global warming or how emissions from airplanes could've possibly led to the tarmac melting. For the Knowledge Carnival on Monday, I plan to include a point in my group's presentation in which this is one example of how journalists could deliberately omit vital information from news reports in an attempt to entice more viewers to discuss these situations and watch future telecasts of news programs in order to receive more information about those reports.
More to come... =3
