Media complicity in Climategate
Washington Times ^ | December 07, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 12/06/2009 10:18:57 PM PST by JohnRLott

A tale of destroyed documents, fraud, conspiracy and the misuse of millions of government dollars would seem to have all the juicy ingredients of a scandal that journalists would kill to cover. However, the mainstream media apparently doesn't think that Climategate is news. ABC News hasn't deemed the story newsworthy. Neither has CBS nor NBC. If Americans only got their news from the networks, they would not know about the global-warming fraud or would merely think there was a simple misunderstanding about what scientists meant in some vague e-mails

Never mind that two major universities have at least temporarily removed prominent academics from heading major climate research facilities. Never mind that there are real questions raised about the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) controversial assessment report that the Obama administration and global-warming advocates have continually hyped in order to advance their case for new global regulations to curtail purported global warming. . . .

“A tale of destroyed documents, fraud, conspiracy and the misuse of millions of government dollars would seem to have all the juicy ingredients of a scandal that journalists would kill to cover.”

To be fair, though it does NOT have the same level of importance as did Bush’s dental records in Alabama...

Such omissions make mainstream news complicit in the cover-up.
It's frustrating to reflect on the fact that the majority of the public never questions the MSM - or, still less, the scientists promoted by the MSM.
