Oh, you don’t know about “Climate Gate,” the biggest science swindle in history? That’s because the lib mainstream media has hardly done squat on it. It’s not like it’s huge news like a fraternity-style naked pyramid at Abu Ghraib which the MSM treated us to front and center for weeks on end.
Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters documented the shoddy reporting on November 24—a full week after the discovery of the emails. Instead of making it top priority, the news channels filled the airwaves with everything but:
… [H]ere are some of the stories news organizations apparently favored by the Obama adminstration have covered since ClimateGate broke:
ABC’s “World News with Charles Gibson” Friday did a very lengthy piece about Oprah Winfrey ending her syndicated daytime talk show
ABC’s “World News with Charles Gibson” Monday did a lengthy piece on new revelations involving the marital affair of Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.)
CBS “Evening News” Saturday reported a ten-year-old pianist playing at Carnegie Hall
CBS “Evening News” Sunday did lengthy pieces on the website FreeCreditReport.com not being free and the movie “New Moon”
CBS “Evening News” Monday did lengthy pieces about defective drywall and a man who makes money wearing t-shirts
NBC “Nightly News” Friday reported on Switzerland’s supercollider being turned back on
NBC “Nightly News” Saturday did a somewhat lengthy report on food carts
NBC “Nightly News” Sunday reported the release of British singer Susan Boyle’s CD, and then followed it up with another report Monday on her promoting it.
It’s not that these aren’t valid news stories, but should they ALL be of greater importance than a scandal involving scientists from around the world including some employed by NASA and American colleges?
I disagree. Very few of these stories should have made the roster. Switzerland’s supercollinder (what is that?)? Food carts? defective drywall? A non-substantive follow-up on the months-old story of a Republican Senator’s marital affair??? Every one of these anchors should be fired and have their journalism degrees revoked.
Also consider that the news divisions of ABC, CBS, and NBC broadcast many hours during the day besides their evening programs, and LexisNexis identified no ClimateGate reports in those either (through Monday).
As for CNN, it has been broadcasting for almost 100 straight hours since this story broke, and it appears the so-called “Most Respected Name In News” has yet to devote one second to this scandal.
By contrast, Fox News did at least four reports on this subject on Monday alone. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has also done multiple stories on this matter, as has BBC.com.
Yet, despite the seriousness of this issue, as well as a prominent Senator calling for hearingsto investigate it, America’s television news organizations appear to be actively boycotting this growing controversy.
Is this a replay of how they ignored September’s ACORN scandal for many days until they were basically forced to cover what had gone viral across the Internet, talk radio, and Fox News?
What is it going to take for these so-called news outlets to begin sharing this subject with their viewers?
On a humorous related note, ABC might not be interested in ClimateGate, but it still is devoted to spreading climate fear.
On Tuesday, ABCNews.com’s top story was, “Worse Than the Worst: Climate Report Says Even Most Dire Predictions Too Tame“
There’s even less time for humanity to try to curb global warming than recently thought, according to a new in-depth scientific assessment by 26 scientists from eight countries. …
This is unbelievable!
And just when you think the lib media it can’t get any worse, Andy Revkin at the NY Times refused to reveal any of the emails because they were “never intended for the public eye.”
Are you kidding me? This is the same newspaper who printed loads of classified CIA documents that hurt the efforts of the Bush White House to fight the war on “terror”?
Now that it’s over two weeks since the email story broke, the NY Times and the rest of the lib media are finally reporting on it, but with the perspective that the news is sure to gladden climate skeptics. In other words, the MSM is not focusing on the scam that’s just been exposed; they’re focusing all the uneducated corporate-bought climate deniers who must be dancing in the streets like a bunch of Arabs on September 11, 2001. Some have also mentioned a movement growing to sue these Bernie Madoffs of the climate change industry. But, again, without telling the whole story of the hoax, the media (deliberately, in my humble opinion) makes the suers look simply stupid, partisan, and spiteful.
So, you need to learn any more about Climate Gate? Here’s a YouTube video illustrating the Who’s Who of the biggest scam of modern times [h/t What Bubba Knows]:
Despite all this evidence that the science has been cooked for years, President Golden Calf still plans on going to Copenhagen with the intention of having the U.S. "lead the world" in signing into global law what can arguably be considered the most liberty-suppressing, prosperity-stifling, and life-threatening act in human history. Why should scientific facts or the exposure of this multi-trillion-dollar scam dissuade the Marxist-in-Chief? Climate change legislation was never about saving the planet; it's always was and still is about knocking the U.S. down as many notches as possible from its unfairly attained pedestal and saving the world from the evils of capitalism.
You wanted change? You got it.
Welcome to the future, suckers!
