As the MRC’s Business and Media Institute reported on Wednesday, in the twelve days since emails were released showing climate scientists manipulating global warming data, many in the media have been stunningly silent.
The evening network newscasts on ABC, CBS, NBC have failed to make any mention of the scandal going on day thirteen since the story broke.
On NBC’s Nightly News on Wednesday, anchor Brian Williams failed to cover the climate controversy, but did manage to find the time to congratulate himself on his fifth anniversary of taking over the broadcast from Tom Brokaw.
As NewsBusters’ Noel Sheppard reported on Wednesday, even faux news anchor Jon Stewart referenced ClimateGate on The Daily Show.

If one assumes that most of Stewart's audience gets their "news" from the MSM, it makes you wonder if they even knew what the heck he was talking about...
The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.
The sad story is that

Thu, 12/03/2009 - 15:05 ET by jdhawkAny chance that you all at NB will stop calling these organizations "newscasters?" They are socialist propagandists. There message is not the news, but is all about driving this country to socialism.
The House Bill on so-called climate change would tax the crap out of Americans. We haven't heard from the above organizations on the true impact of this bill like we haven't heard from them on Climate Gate. This is no accident.
If agreed to, the thrust of the upcoming Copenhagen talks will mean massive wealth transfer from the wallets of Americans through our federal government, through the UN and to the third world. We haven't heard from the above organizations on the true impact of these meetings like we haven't heard from them on Climate Gate. This is no accident.

Top administration scientists looking at
the same thing found no such sign, saying it doesn't change the fact
that the world is warming.
The science is proper and this is about a
small fraction of research on the issue, said Holdren, a physicist who
has studied climate change.
"The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus ...
Holdren responded that the word "trick" did not mean manipulation of data, but about a "clever way" to tackle a problem.
Talk about FAITH...
Here's Ann Coulter view...
Even if the Earth were warming -- which apparently it is not -- the
idea that humans using energy-efficient lightbulbs would alter the
temperature of the globe is approximately as plausible as the Aztecs'
belief that they were required to wrench the beating heart out of
living, breathing humans in order to keep the sun on its path.

Thu, 12/03/2009 - 15:14 ET by tim413the major networks can only cover four or five stories each evening and, since they have to work in several non-news stories....

Thu, 12/03/2009 - 15:16 ET by R D HelmAll they have to do is keep enough sheeple in the dark and feed 'em BS just long enough for this idiot congress to sneak some hideous bill through in the middle of the night, or drop it way in the back of some farm bill and pass it in broad daylight.
When all is said and done, the government is going to know how much electricity the heater in your doghouse consumes, how long you spend in the shower, what your thermostats are set on, whether or not you gave your clothes an extra rinse in the washer, as well as how often you press the flush handles on the toilets.
Trust me, the people now in control of the federal government are all Marxist control freaks. They will not be able help themselves.

SENATOR Boxer will be on the case!!
Thu, 12/03/2009 - 15:55 ET by motherbeltFrom the "They are soooo predictable" files:
I saw this coming over a week ago
and now the emails will be ignored while Congressional leaders put all
their efforts into finding out everything about, and destroying, the
hacker who discovered them!
And as surely as Pavlov's dog, Barbara Boxer begins to salivate on cue
"You call it "climategate," I call it "email-theftgate."
"This is a crime," Boxer said.
Thu, 12/03/2009 - 16:24 ET by vrwc13"We may well have a hearing on this, we may not. We may have a briefing for senators, we may not," Boxer said. "Part of our looking at this will be looking at a criminal activity which could have well been coordinated.
"This is a crime," Boxer said.

Boxer -- thy name is stinking whistleblower hypocrite
Thu, 12/03/2009 - 17:05 ET by Jack BauerApparently Barbara Boxer wants prosecutions in CLIMATEGATE.
But not the Warmer fraudsters. No she wants the evil WHISTLEBLOWER PROSECUTED.
This is quite odd because you know how Boxer made her name?
Legislation to PROTECT WHISTLEBLOWERS!
Oh -- and little Ms Hyprocrite isn't unfamiliar with receiving stolen government sponsored data. In fact, she's quite proud of it...
Jack... Thank you, they

Thank you, they only like that whisle blown is if it's music they can dance to.

Thu, 12/03/2009 - 23:49 ET by rammingspeedEvery day that goes by they tighten their own noose a little more. Henry Waxman points out that the mainstream news is dying. This is why, Henry. The newspapers aren't losing because of technology, they're losing because they're utterly, utterly corrupt. The networks are coming in last because they're proven liars and people have legitimate, alternate news sources.
