Beam me to Planet Gore !

Call it the Domino Effect. After Monday’s Newsnight item on the Climategate scandal it is evident that the leaked e-mails allegedly from the University of East Anglia’s manmade global warming propaganda unit are threatening to bring down more than just the IPCC/Al Gore axis. The much-derided mainstream media are waking up to the fact that their own credibility and hence commercial viability are imminently threatened by their clinging to the climate change superstition.
Do not misunderstand me. The Newsnight package was in no sense a mea culpa by the BBC; nor was it a resiling from the Corporation’s fanatical attachment to the global warming legend. Many of the familiar features were in evidence: Paxman’s scepticism of scepticism; the interviewing of a sceptic scientist in his overcoat, outdoors, somewhere in central London, while Professor Bob Watson, from the University of East Anglia, lorded it comfortably in the studio.
Yet there was something new. BBC Kremlinologists could not fail to notice just a scintilla of unease, reflected in Susan Watts’ relatively open-minded presentation of the issue; above all, the fact that the BBC felt compelled to address the matter at all. Clearly, someone at the BBC realised that this is a global scoop in which the blogosphere has left the Corporation and all the dead-tree media standing. Those media are already facing increasing marginalisation without marginalising themselves by refusing to report news that is viral on the Internet.
Is it even just possible that some trillionaire BBC executive, somewhere in the depths of Broadcasting House, retained just enough of his youthful news-hound instincts to feel a hollow pit in his stomach and to ask himself: “Ohmigod, what if it is all a crock and we are left looking like a bunch of complete self-abusers...

It doesn’t matter if its a crock. Its the right thing to do for the earth, the world and peace.
It may not end state-run media in the US or UK, but it is a step in that direction. Go to any major American newspaper in the past few days and look at the comments under their articles on global warming. The readers are LIVID about the global warming fraud, and about the state-run media’s complicity in perpetrating the fraud.
It’s just another step toward general acceptance that state-run media lies to us, and can no longer be trusted.
you notice how this is big news in the UK and it is being reported a great deal where as here the state run media are not saying anything .
Much like they did with the ACORN, SEIU, Van Jones, Navy seals who are now being charged because they gave a terrorist who killed and tortured 4 Americans, to lobbyists to Govt health care and how it does not work to unemployment figures to the amount of troops dying over in the wars.
They disgust me
To the insider(s) who got this out...Thank You.
MSM credibility at stake..
What credibility ??
Some scientists are going to wonder where their reputations went ... The lame-stream media is already dead.
Gore and others should be charged with fraud.
The others who did believe this crock should be charged with stupidity and be forced to pay a fine and then do community service like picking up crap
very good point Sir.
They give time to Gore who has made millions by a massive scam and yet ignore Navy seals getting charged because they gave an Islamic terrorist/killer a fat lip.
They never report the truth no more, they never do any investigative journalism AT ALL.
well unless it means getting a republican in a marital affair or something
“They never report the truth no more, they never do any investigative journalism AT ALL.”
Let’s not forget Joe the Plumber.
They did outstanding investigative work on him.
In fact they learned more about him in 24 hours than they have learned about Obama in 24 months.
>> “Ohmigod, what if it is all a crock and we are left looking like a bunch of complete self-abusers...”
ROFL!
It IS, and you ARE!
>> Its the right thing to do for the earth, the world and peace.
I tried to get on Algore’s Christmas card list that way last year... he sends some really nice ones I hear. But it didn’t work. :-)
If anyone thinks the left has given up on AGW, they’re sadly mistaken. Just as the left has never given up on the idea of one world government, they’ll never give up on global warming or other scams. They’ll find something else. They always do.
It always comes down to....."SOCIALISM" rearing its ugly head again
We need to devote all our efforts to fight it everywhere and challenge every single person, including the so-called academics or journalists who espouse this enduring human virus, socialism. Especially when it is presented in the jargon of science or the auspices of avuncular government assistance
Socialism does nothing but enslave people wherever it is adopted.
VERY GOOD POINT
they can delve into his own life but still we have a man in the white house where he has sealed his own records for no one to see.
Still the AP an all must be still fact checking into Sarah’s book .
Meanwhile bozo in the white house is still looking for a church.
Surprised he hasn;t gone to mecca yet.
“picking up crap” is euphemistically known as “green jobs.”
If they really haven’t given up on the scam, at least we can send ‘em all out on the rest of the Snake Oil Sales Tour with 60Gb worth of bulls*** data, folded twice and jammed up their bum. Sideways. Without benefit of Vaseline.
(All three of my Alma Maters should have already received my comments on this little matter, along with a notice that I expect their prompt and complete disclosure of their role before they need bother asking me for another da** red dime.)
Dan Rather...is that you?
