Thanks to Google or other search engines, you can easily see how a story is promoted/reported... or not. The MSM can decide what is news, and they have unambiguously decided that Climategate is definitely not news - or rather, not news they wish to report.
The test below searches a number of leading news sites for the term "climategate". This test is quite revealing, for on the left-wing sites where it appears - which are very few - it is either in an opinion column, where it is somewhat laughingly disparaged or in a blog comment that somehow escaped the notice of the censors.
One might argue that they may use a different term for the fraud, which is, perhaps a fair observation... however, for that reason, the "Huffington Post", was included. "The Huffington Post" is a left-wing Liberal site/forum/blog where the term 'climategate' has been published THOUSANDS of times by left-wing bloggers - all of which makes it more conspicuously absent from thousands of stories published daily by the MSM. The Huffington Post left-wingers are using the term frequently and very freely amongst one-another - but you would never know that such a term even existed if you relied solely upon the MSM for your news and information.
See the chart below which shows actual numerical results according to Google site searches done earlier today (Dec. 1st, 2009).
Using Google, you can do a simple test to immediately expose such blatant press bias by searching each site individually for the term, and simply counting the number of results pages.
For example, to search CNN for the term "climategate" simply type the following into Google and see:
| site:www.cnn.com climategate |
Here are the results of this press bias test:
I came across a UK source ...Daily Express that seems to be jumping on the story....
I posted this:
You should add Google. 13,000,000 hits the last time I looked.
4 million google results for “hide the decline”
WOW. That makes it just so blatantly OBVIOUS doesn’t it?
