When the Tea Party has a few hundred people meet in a "protest the Kenyan America-hating black guy for president" rally the entire media world is in attendance. FOX does their blow-by-blow coverage. They also host events for the GOP in their off time.

When the largest protest in the history of NYC, and the country, is held to draw attention to climate change, global warming, and what we can do NOW to ensure the future of our planet………NADA, not one word. The ralliers made sure Wall Street heard it, too. And this was a protest heard around the globe….NOT just in this country. 

"Cable news, with the

Tens of thousands in noisy march through the streets of New York City to call for carbon-free future ahead of UN summit " http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/9/21/climate-march-nyc.html

"In other words, in “territorial defense” of their climate change denying political agenda, conservatives are less likely to use a product if it’s labeled as energy-saving, making the perverse point that, either “we don’t need no stinking energy-saving stuff because we’ve got our denial party-line to rely on,” OR “our stance is right, yours is wrong; we’re definitely NOT buying into yours, so we will not be buying these damn efficiency light bulbs, thank you.”
