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.

"...even faux news anchor

"...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

a significant percentage of their demographic, gets their news from the Daily Show.

Any chance that you all at

Any 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.

You can join me

with my new title "shill-casters" or just "shills" for short.

I'm waiting for,Vain Hussein's give away program at Dopeinhagen

With these folk yappin in his big ears..

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. 

 

Rasmussen Poll

Be wise if he paid attention to this from Rasmussen polling...then again, his chin in the air isn't going to come down until he is gone.

In their defense (sick)

the major networks can only cover four or five stories each evening and, since they have to work in several non-news stories....

Stop federal judges from foisting their notions of "fairness" on the States.  Amend the 14th Amendment! - tim413

Remember, if the SCM doesn't report it, it didn't happen

All 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!!

From 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.

"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.

...so which is the bigger crime:

  • stealing trillions of dollars from millions of people on false science/myths

or

  • stealing emails that expose the above

v

If nothing else, the Gore Effect proves that God has a sense of humor.

I'll take stealing trillions

I'll take stealing trillions from millions of people on false science/myths for $1000, vrw.  What is; Boxer is going down..FOR THE WIN!!!

Boxer -- thy name is stinking whistleblower hypocrite

Apparently 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!

http://www.answers.com/topic/barbara-boxer
Boxer became best known as a representative for publicizing particularly egregious cases of  wasteful military spending. As a result of these efforts, Boxer was able to take partial credit for a series of  military procurement reform amendments, which included a 1988 measure to protect whistle-blowers,  and a measure to allow competitive bidding for contracts to provide spare parts to the military.

She was also involved in seeking protection for  whistleblowers in government...

Oh -- and little Ms Hyprocrite isn't unfamiliar with receiving stolen government sponsored data. In fact, she's quite proud of it...

FCC ordered media study destroyed, lawyer says
Updated 9/14/2006  |  
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Communications Commission ordered its staff to destroy all copies of a draft study that suggested greater concentration of media ownership would hurt local TV news coverage, a former lawyer at the agency says.

The report, written in 2004, came to light during the Senate confirmation hearing for FCC Chairman Kevin Martin.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. received a copy of the report "indirectly from someone within the FCC who believed the information should be made public," according to Boxer spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz.

Adam Candeub, now a law professor at Michigan State University, said senior managers at the agency ordered that "every last piece" of the report be destroyed. "The whole project was just stopped — end of discussion," he said. Candeub was a lawyer in the FCC's Media Bureau at the time the report was written and communicated frequently with its authors, he said.

In a letter sent to Martin on Wednesday, Boxer said she was "dismayed that this report, which was done at taxpayer expense more than two years ago, and which concluded that localism is beneficial to the public, was shoved in a drawer."

In the letter, Boxer asked whether any other commissioners "past or present" knew of the report's existence and why it was never made public. She also asked whether it was "shelved because the outcome was not to the liking of some of the commissioners and/or any outside powerful interests?"

In a letter to Boxer on Thursday, Martin noted that he was not chairman at the time it was written, that he had not seen it before Tuesday's hearing, nor had any members of his staff or any other commissioners, past or present.

The chairman said it was unclear why the report was never released to the public, that he was attempting to determine why but that former FCC Chairman Michael Powell and senior management at the Media Bureau are no longer with the agency.

He also wrote that "the report appears to cover issues relevant to both our open localism proceeding and our recently commenced media ownership proceeding" and that it had been included in the record Tuesday. The inclusion makes the document available on the FCC's website.

The report, written by two economists in the FCC's Media Bureau, analyzed a database of 4,078 individual news stories broadcast in 1998. The broadcasts were obtained from Danilo Yanich, a professor and researcher at the University of Delaware, and were originally gathered by the Pew Foundation's Project for Excellence in Journalism...

Boxer's office said if she does not receive adequate answers to her questions, she will push for an investigation by the FCC inspector general.

Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, who along with fellow Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps voted against liberalizing the ownership rules, said he was unaware of the study's existence and said it was an outrage that it was "deep-sixed."

"It feels like we were cheated of getting the data," he said. "We need to know the facts."

Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. John Dingell of Michigan, ranking member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., also a member of the committee, sent a letter to Martin on Thursday asking that he "examine the circumstances surrounding the suppression of this report."

bt -- this is why I love the internet!

I had a thought 30 minutes ago: I wonder if Boxer ever thought whistle-blowers were GREAT!

Yahooed "boxer" + "whistleblower" and that info popped up... on the first page!

I guess that's beyond the wit or expertise of "journalists"

Let Them Stay Quiet

Every 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.

Hmmmm

following the link on her (Malkin's) blog....that's exactly what I told them.  

Well it is no wonder

MSM hasn't reported they are to busy trying to get their carbon footprints out of their global warming mouths.

Here's a fact that's worth the knowing, So treasure and mark it well.  When the mind is through with growing, the the head begins to swell.             Sir Nosmo King
