Who covers what and why?

On a (very) brief note that we'll expand upon later: It's not too surprising that the American public and corporate America is confused on what to do and think about climate change, because the media is pretty damn confused too. We'll find few examples as illustrative as what happened yesterday in competing House and Senate hearings.

Rep. Henry Waxman (Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform) held a hearing on the politicization of climate science. At the same time, Senator Boxer (Chair of the Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works) held a hearing on what the Senate might do to regulate climate change.

Guess which hearing is more important (far, far more important) to the climate change legislation picture? Guess which hearing got the vast majority of the press coverage, including front-and-center notice on all the major national network evening news shows?
