They are researching the coverage of climategate, why still no coverage themselves. Incredible!

I thought one of them did a story on the source code, wasn’t that CBS?
We need to stop funding these people. Cancel your cable television (even basic). If you must watch television, watch it over the air in digital format or on the internet.
Check out movies from the library for free. Use Redbox to get new releases at $1/night.
Defund the liberals and their mouthpieces and you will have less anguish as you sleep at night.
In other words, get a life and you won't have time to mess with television and all of its commercial grandeur.
Blind leading the blind.....
Fingers in ears La-La-La-I-can’t-hear-you ...
The lamestream media is in on the scam. The climate writer at the BBC, the climate writer at the New York Times, they are on the inside. The BBC had the leaked emails for weeks prior to them being leaked publicly.
All the research involved is geared to how to spin the story, not the story itself. A vast global swindle has been perpetrated, and the cockroaches are busy trying to make it look like a GOOD thing.
Now it looks like the swindle is coming unraveled, and a vast gap in confidence looms.
No coverage on the failed Oboma trillion dollar stimulus package, either. I don’t think they covered the failure of the cash for clunkers now that I think about it.Geeeze! What DO they report? Anything?

In the words of the Times (UK) Online:
"SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based."
So "peer review," "transparency," "freedom of information," "consensus," and so forth, have become literally impossible.
I don't see how anybody can dispute that.
When does Copenhagen and the UN announce "It's all over"?
When do the criminal indictments begin?
"Way back in November of 2009, certain extremists floated the idea that Global Warming had been debunked by a small set of data accidentally released by the CRU. As we now know, this was a misinterpretation of complex data by non-experts. Far more important news came the following month, as major agreements on the very real dangers of Global Warming were reached at Copenhagen."
Gas the Kurds redux - they're caught red-handed, so duck, dodge and weave.
Context is the whole problem. It gets warmer and colder on its own but there’s no money in this field. The news readers mix up man made and normal climate all the time. Add that to the 50 or more percent who don’t have a clue and you have a group of followers.
The Lamestreet media better hope there is global warming as they are all about to assume room temperature.
The more talk radio is out in front of a story like Climategate, the less the dino-media will cover it. Thats because for decades the dinos have been saying the radio talkers have no credibility and arent newsmen. If they admit this is a legit story it shows the radio guys were RIGHT and reported a MAJOR story before they did. If you spend your career calling someone an incompetant fool and they beat you at your own game, what does it say about YOU?
How did that work out??
As a recent pundit explained, it's all about storytelling. "Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds."
One you've sold the "frame," people will fill in the facts or pseudo-facts that best fit in the frame.
We have to sell a better, more accurate real-world story line: "Grant-Hungry Science Frauds in Bed With Powerfreaks to Set Up a Global Carbon Dictatorship" would be a truer one. Now, how to phrase and trim that so it fits on a bumper-sticker...

Everything is pretty much visual...penguins, and seals and bears...movies, the web, Al and his touring company...What a friggin' farce!
Follow the money!!
The MSM is coming around very slowly to acknowledging that this gaffe is real but don’t expect any watchdog growls.
USA Today weighed in today, go to usatoday.com, click on tech at top and you’ll see the story listed below; reads just like the major sheets, same song, same verse.
They even have a sidebar explaining how scientists are special and just need coaching on their manners:
“EXPERT PERSPECTIVE
USA TODAY asked the University of Michigan’s Nicholas Steneck, author of the federal Office of Research Integrity’s “Introduction to the Responsible Conduct of Research” report, to comment on the climate researchers’ emails stolen from the United Kingdom’s University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) this month:
“The faults, if there are any, are in my view much broader than CRU and its researchers. Scientists/researchers have not thought through and provided guidance on how they should act in situations such as this and how the behavior of scientists should be assessed when problems arise. This is why there is no agreement now even on who should look into the situation.
Society needs good, reliable scientific advice to make informed decisions about public policy. Scientist should not be put in a situation where they are too intimidated by anyone who disagrees to provide that advice. Scientific freedom must be protected. But scientists also need to be provided with appropriate guidance and training on public debate and advocacy. It would be a sad day for society if some ill-chosen words in private emails distracted the important discussions that need to take place about how best to control our insatiable need for energy and its impact on our environment.”
Those of us with an insatiable need for honesty will just have to wait a little longer, I guess.
they only report real news
