UN and Oxfam caught bribing media to write crusading climate stories
By Ian Wishart
News journalists are being bribed by the United Nations and the Oxfam charity to write scare stories about climate change ahead of the global climate treaty negotiations in Paris later this year.
Details of the bribes – which take the form of ego-boosting “awards”, global travel in CO2 generating airliners and financial payments – are contained in a news release just published by the UNDP today, an organisation headed by former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark.
Journalists’ codes of ethics prohibit being induced to give favourable coverage, but those rules have increasingly been ignored in recent years by the use of backdoor mechanisms like funding journalism “awards” as a means of generating content and rewarding propaganda-writers.

Add to that grants to “scientists” to promote “solutions” for “anthropogenic global climate change” that increase government power.

No wonder we don't hear the truth. Maybe they should just call it all "The Government News".
And we think the citizens of North Korea are brainwashed. We actually are led to believe we hear the real facts!
IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS SYSTEM WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE:
ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.
CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Whitehouse Press Secretary Jay Carney.
ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama's Deputy Press Secretary.
ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama's Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood.
CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton's Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.
And now you know why it is no surprise the media usually goes very easy on this ADMINISTRATIONS many errors....
Ya think there might be a little bias in the news?
(the preceding was found in my inbox recently. We all knew most of this, but it helps to have it all compiled)

Why? The MSM and liberals are all watermelons. Green on the outside and red inside.
