The Washington Post put ClimateGate on the front page, top left in Saturday

Well, ya know, if you had just the right covalent bonding with just the right particle ionization, it could precipitate the development of a crystalline structure and the sky could fall......../sarc

I see this as distortion and not an opening in the so-called mainstream press to describe the debate fairly.

It’s just damage control.

As they convey: The “muzzling” of dissent is of lesser cranks that think your suburb is dangerous to the Earth, etc.

We can hope that this folding press enterprise (recent closings outside DC) will continue to lose credibility as readers find alternative internet sources to grab news and more accurate perspectives.

When the WashPo rag prints on Page One Wednesday morning a full unbiased interview of Steven McIntyre, or of Viscount Monckton, or any number of scientific critics of AGW, ...

THEN we will know the Left is in full retreat.

Its not so much what they reported but that they reported climategate on the front page at all.

I understand but, folks that read the article are given the impression that this is no big deal.

[Hostage]

No, he did not postpone.

He changed the date to a later date for political reasons as one of the pro-Cap & Taz ministers complained that his appearance was too early and should be near the end of the summit so they can all ‘sign off’ together.

The fear was that Obama’s early arrival and early departure would allow an unraveling of the momentum to get the signatures.

To me, it's unambiguous . . . humans are altering the climate system," said Roger Pielke Sr., a research scientist at the University of Colorado. "It's just that, it's much more than CO2.

Then why the big emphasis on carbon taxes? It is important, then it isn't. I no longer buy any of this Barbra Streisand.

[TribalPrincess2U]

More like damage control.

Admit it happened, spin it like hell, we won so what, move along. GRRRRR

Is the Washington Post known as a more conservative paper or is it a moonbat publication?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Brian Williams on NBC Nightly FINALLY gave it about 65 seconds last night.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Is the Washington Post known as a more conservative paper

The Washington Times is the more conservative periodical.

[PuzzledInTX]

I find it odd that no one addresses the fact that the climate is currently changing on ALL the planets in our Solar System. Latest scientific evidence has shown that no humans currently exist on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus. I can’t imagine why this variable is missing from the Algore-ithm. /s

[Catholic Canadian]

Thx, that explains the unconvincing spin job.

[CRBDeuce]

Since the globe stopped warming in 1998, the dinosaur media has published nothing but BS pegging the BS Meter day after day. Wonder if they've noticed a correlation with subscribers yet...or ad revenues...credibility. And they still helped elect a shill, empty suit, fraud.

[PghBaldy]

It’s a shame it wasn’t in Sunday’s paper. THAT is the one day a week people across the country can see the (dead tree version) WaPo.

[My Favorite Headache]

Me neither. Nothing to celebrate here.

[norwaypinesavage]

I wonder if this was above, or below, the story on scientists discovering that the earth is round?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good point,...if lots of noise happens,..he would then cancel....I love it!

[nathanbedford]

Perhaps.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Bump! Slay the Man-bear-pig! LOL.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

KFI’s Ken and John show did it....had a guest on yesterday afternoon stating that he and another Academy member (in Hollywood ) were calling for Gore’s Oscar to be recalled!

Hacked from another location-—

“Obama is a Global Warming expert. His first Weatherman was Bill Ayers.”
