The program focuses on issues considered underreported or ignored by mainstream news coverage. Democracy Now! began broadcasting on television every weekday shortly after September 11, 2001, and is the only public media in the U.S. that airs simultaneously on satellite and cable television, radio, and the internet.

As Hurricane Matthew Lashes U.S., Are TV Networks the Last Bastion of Climate Denial?

As Hurricane Matthew Lashes U.S., Are TV Networks the Last Bastion of Climate Denial?
http://democracynow.org - As Hurricane Matthew bears down on the Florida coast, onto Georgia and South Carolina, we discuss how the role of climate change has been largely ignored in media coverage of the storm. "If the TV networks don’t start making these links between climate change and extreme weather events, they will be one of the last bastions of climate denial," says May Boeve, executive director of 350 Action, the political arm of the climate organization 350.org.

Amid Media Blackout over Climate Change Links to Hurricane Matthew, Top Scientist Speaks Out

Amid Media Blackout over Climate Change Links to Hurricane Matthew, Top Scientist Speaks Out

Amid Media Blackout over Climate Change Links to Hurricane Matthew, Top Scientist Speaks Out
http://democracynow.org - States of emergency have been declared in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas as Hurricane Matthew barrels toward the Southeast coastline. More than 2 million people have been urged to evacuate their homes. The record-breaking storm has already killed at least 26 people in Haiti and four in the Dominican Republic. The storm is soon expected to hit the Bahamas and then strengthen as it moves toward Florida. Meteorologists are predicting Matthew could be the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Wilma in 2005. Many scientists are saying climate change has intensified Hurricane Matthew because warmer ocean waters help create stronger hurricanes. Matthew is already the longest-lived Category 4 or 5 hurricane in the Eastern Caribbean on record. To talk more about Hurricane Matthew and climate change, we speak to Guardian journalist Oliver Milman and Michael Mann, a distinguished professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University. His latest book, co-authored with political cartoonist Tom Toles, is titled "The Madhouse Effect : How Climate Change Denial Is Threatening Our Planet, Destroying Our Politics, and Driving Us Crazy." Mann is also author of "The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines."

Part 1: Jill Stein "Debates" Clinton & Trump in Democracy Now! Special
http://democracynow.org - Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off Monday night in one of the most anticipated debates in U.S. history. The debate was held at Hofstra University on Long Island and moderated by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. Throughout the 90-minute, often antagonistic, debate, Clinton and Trump sparred on everything from foreign policy to trade deals to personal stamina. But third-party candidates, including Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein, were excluded from the debate stage under stringent rules set by the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is controlled by the Democratic and Republican parties. For more, we air excerpts from the presidential debate and get response from Green Party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein.

Special Expanded VP Debate with Pence, Kaine & Green Party Nominee Ajamu Baraka
http://democracynow.org - On Tuesday, October 4, Democracy Now! hosted special live coverage of the first U.S. vice-presidential debate from Richmond, Va. We aired the full debate between Republican VP nominee Mike Pence and Democratic VP nominee Tim Kaine and "expanded" the debate by giving third-party candidates a chance to respond in real time to the same questions. Green Party VP nominee Ajamu Baraka joined us from Richmond. We also invited Libertarian vice presidential candidate William Weld, who did not respond to our offer. Before the debate, Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman moderated a pre-debate roundtable with Zaid Jilani and Lee Fang of the Intercept, Katherine Franke of Columbia University, Demos’ Naila Awan, Vietnam War veteran Andrew Bacevich and the ACLU’s Chase Strangio. After the debate, we aired responses from John Nichols and journalist Allan Nairn.

As Earth Reaches Frightening CO2 Milestone, Bill McKibben Calls for War on Climate Change
http://democracynow.org - "We are under attack from climate change—and our only hope is to mobilize like we did in WWII," says Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org, in an extended interview in our New York studio. "It’s not that we need to go to war with climate change, it’s that we are under siege." This comes as 2016 is on track to be the hottest year ever on record and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said if he is elected, he will weaken the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, abolish President Obama’s Clean Power Plan, promote fossil fuel exploration and recruit oil and gas executives to lead his Cabinet.
