Surprised there is no mention of Sinclair broadcast group. Many broadcast stations have to read from the same script provided by Sinclair. Sinclair has been criticized for their affiliation with and support of the Republican party.

The "watchdog group" the article refers to, Media Matters, is not particularly unbiased themselves.

Are the facts reported in the article disputed?

It may be “media malpractice” to not mention climate change as a factor.

It is also media malpractice to shallowly attribute these events to climate change alone without looking at the many other human influences.

Go on, name a few that aren't mentioned in the media yet.

> a few that aren't mentioned in the media yet.

Silly straw man.

Mentioned somewhere but ignored in most coverage in favor of just saying ‘climate change’.

It's not a straw man when you're literally claiming the media isn't talking about those other issues, in response an article talking about how every possibly explanation gets mentioned except climate change to boot.

On top of that, given that the main driver for these disasters is in fact climate change, focussing on everything else is like a doctor insisting on giving general health tips to a patient whose leg is broken while pretending to not see the latter.

Pretty sure my local news and PBS certainly said Climate Change this past week in relation to Hurricane Ida and the expectation storms will get worse.

Of course low value entertainment stations like CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC don’t mention it.

And now there is data to support that.
