1. The Green New Deal, if passed, would cause a radical transformation of the U.S. economy which would affect every American. This is why it is important for voters to understand what is in it. Why do you think reports overall did not report on how it would transform our economy or question the trillions of dollars it would cost taxpayers?

2. What type of bias is displayed in reporting on the Green New Deal?

3. After some conservatives questioned the provisions in this proposed legislation, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez claimed there were "multiple doctored (fake) versions" of her plan - which was actually not true.  Why do you think she and other backers would make this claim?

4. Spanish language networks Telemundo and Univision did not report on Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's announcement. How will people who get their news from those outlets be informed voters? What type of bias do these news outlets display?

CHALLENGE:

• Read the Overview, FAQs and Summary of the Green New Deal in its entirety here or here.
• The reason why this Democratic-Socialist proposal is important for every voter to understand, especially 18-24 year olds, is that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has widespread support in that voter age group.  In polls, a majority of young people support Socialism - without understanding what it is.
• (Note: the plan claims 92% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans support it. It is unclear where these numbers came from or if they are accurate.)

Consider the provisions of the proposal, as well as the explanation of how it will all be paid for. Do you support this plan? Ask a parent the same question and discuss your answers.
