To the Networks, Tiger Woods Gossip 15 Times More Newsworthy Than ClimateGate

If ABC, NBC and CBS's judgment is correct, Tiger Woods's infidelity is more important than a climate change scandal involving high profile scientists, potentially ‘manipulated' data, and censorship of skeptics among the scientific community.

Also I’ve noticed the network news running week long propaganda (in conjunction with the Hoaxenhagen Summit) how we’re all going to drown and how all those polar bears are dying because of “global warming”. It’s so obvious they’re nothing but traitors and a propaganda arm of the government.

It’s like the Dixie Chicks....

When FR stopped talking about them....the world stopped talking about them.

Another good reason the Woods story should be completely ignored.

Which is why I don't watch the networks. Gave up on their "news" as worthless ca 1981, after starting to watch ca 1980.

Got much better things to do than waste my time watching teeheevee "news" that isn't.

Yep, nothing to see here. The propaganda networks will decide what you are interested in. They know what is good for you.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.......
Starting to be a little too real for my liking.

The networks are in the tank on Climate-fraud. As for Tiger, they need to finish tearing him down before they can do a Bill Clinton-esque “redemption” angle, just in time for the launch of the 2010 golf season. Both phases of the Tiger drama will be great for their ratings.

I’m always telling people there’s a reason the TV comes first in TV news. They’re job is to put up eye drawing TV and get ratings to commercials NOT to inform people. It’s the old rhyme: if it bleeds it leads if it’s sex that’s next. Nobody is bleeding in climategate or Woods’ golf course of hos, but there’s plenty of sex with the Woods story so he wins.

LAMESTREAM has known about the Tiger Woods scandal for a long time.

They kept it quiet to use it to distract the population.

Hopenhagen is worthy of quite a distraction, hence the Tiger Mistress parade.

“It’s like the Dixie Chicks....

Was that causation or correlation?

I agree. Do a FR search, more than 5 pages of him already.

While flipping through the channels this morning I discovered that CNN was actually covering climategate. They were trying to make it seem unimportant and boring, but at least they felt compelled to notice it.

Student News also covered the climate story with mention of
emails and problems with scientists fudging numbers. I was surprised.
