MSM Tries to Ignore Climategate in Global Warming Stories...Readers Bring Them Back to Reality
NewsBusters ^ | November 24, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

An hilariously bizarre situation is happening in the wake of the growing Climategate scandal. Many of the mainstream media stories about global warming are simply pretending it doesn't exist. Perhaps they feel that by ignoring Climategate entirely that it will just go away. Unfortunately for them, the readers of these global warming stories keep bringing up the inconvenient truth of Climategate by mentioning the scandal in the comments section over and over and over again.

An example is this Houston Chronicle editorial which asserts in its headline, "As a crucial climate change conference nears, more evidence of a warming globe." And as the editorial reveals its "evidence," note what is conspicuously missing although the readers will bring it up much to the embarrassment of the Chonicle:

It's going to take a pretty big shovel to come up with the talking points.

Same thing at the Indianapolis Star, in an article entitled “Indiana 4th in Contributing to Global Warming:”

http://www.indystar.com/article/20091124/BUSINESS/91124021/Indiana-ranks-4th-on-global-warming-list

The ignorant pseudo-journalist is being raked over the coals, not only for being ignorant and not only for quoting some press release by a “green” organization without questioning their data. Most importantly she’s getting lambasted for not having a clue about the news cycle, completely ignoring Climategate.

“We will continue to believe in our global warming Santa no matter what the facts are to the contrary.”

Our youngest daughter admitted a few years after the fact that she had known there was no Santa long before she admitted it. She was afraid she would get fewer presents if we knew that she knew. It was a matter of economics in her mind.

Sounds like this is what is happening with the politicians. If we know that they know that global warming is a hoax then there goes Christmas.

My newspaper shut down their forum about 4 months ago. Guess it hurt their feelings. They claim that it’s being “redesigned”.

and this is why you all know the facts that are surfacing from Warmergate are true: because the MSM is not reporting it.

You just can’t make this stuff up. Well, actually, George Orwell can and did, but now it’s all true.

This hacker deserves to be Man or Woman of the Year and to be nominated for a Nobel science prize.

What else has happened in the last few decades that has saved trillions of dollars and avoided super government controls over our lives and businesses.

All done by 1 person. Amazing.

Hilarious, maybe if they get hit with a clue stick enough times it will occur to them to engage their brains and get off of the rails of ignorance they so smugly drive down.

They have to feel really stupid right now. Actually, they really are stupid. And just think of the damage they have inflicted on so many, in the name of global warming. They were getting ready to plunge all of us, well all of us except the elite, into real poverty. And those in poverty, to death.

Exactly how does turning food into fuel help the hungry? How does jacking up the price of fuel help the poor? It'll starve the poor, and make the rest of us who do have means poor, except the elite.

I always thought these guys were either deluded by there pride and arrogance at best or out and out liars at worst. Looks like the latter was true.

I just sent CNBC an email/comment. I don’t watch it all the time, but it comes to mind that I haven’t heard them comment on this scandal. I’ve asked them if they’re under contract not to comment on the hoax since GE is so deeply involved. I’ll look forward to them answering my comment tomorrow. Right...

I have not found anyone around me who I ask about this that has heard about it(Until I tell them-and then most don’t care). I am afraid the tactic of the MSM And the governments is going to be to push on at an even faster pace now. They have too much to lose. This has all been about power and control. It is part of the plan. They are not going to go away from it quietly.

I would also like to add that is not comment sections in printed newspapers or on TV. There are still many people who do not get there news from the internet. What ever the MSM tells them is all they know or care. Sad. I hope that somehow this gets out to many more of them anyways.
