Glenn Beck Cites NewsBusters to Bash TV's ClimateGate Boycott

  • Bookmark and Share

FNC host Glenn Beck on Tuesday cited a NewsBusters article in his attack on all the television news outlets that have boycotted the growing ClimateGate scandal.

As NewsBusters reported earlier in the day, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC have completely ignored last week's bombshell story about controversial e-mail messages between some of the world's leading global warming alarmists.

By contrast, Fox has been all over this issue.

With this in mind, Beck used the NewsBusters piece to demonstrate that much as in their boycott of the ACORN scandal and green jobs czar Van Jones's peculiar associations, the television press are once again hiding important information from the public hoping it will all just go away (video embedded below the fold with transcript):

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

GLENN BECK, HOST: Well, once again, there's a budding scandal that is completely invisible to the people who do not watch FOX News. This joins the parade of such scandals as Van Jones Who? ACORN with hookers. What? And now, the terribly titled, ClimateGate. Huh?

Noel Sheppard at "NewsBusters" found that after this thing started breaking late last week, there has been a total, out of all these networks, all the stories combined from ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC - ABC had to cover the affair of Republican Senator John Ensign, which, I guess, some people were talking about in July.

But the scandal we are talking about - all of these combined, all of these networks, zero - zero. Nobody is reporting on this story. CBS also had a breaking story about a 10-year-old pianist playing at the Carnegie Hall - and you know, good for her or him.

And NBC featured not one but two stories on the release of Susan Boyle's new CD. Oh, I can barely contain my excitement. But in case you missed it, because you were anywhere but here, a hacker or whistleblower released thousands of E-mails and documents between some of the biggest players in the global warming non-debate debate.

Give credit to the "New York times" and "The Washington Post" for confirming the E-mails and that they are legitimate. Yesterday, we showed you the messages between the scientists bragging about climate tricks used to hide the decline in temperatures that were all freaking out, "Oh, no, it looks like our models are wrong."

They were asking each other to delete messages to avoid Freedom of Information Act requests. That doesn't sound legal. Scientists are working together to try and change the definition of peer review journals so that anybody who said global warming wasn't real couldn't get their papers published.

Wow, that almost sounds like the dark ages. Back in 2006, the media flocked to report on James Hansen - this is Al Gore's climate scientist of choice. Remember, he is the guy who said, "I'm being silenced by the evil Bush administration."

Bush was apparently very good at silencing scientists as he was controlling spending, because Hansen did hundreds of interviews, hundreds of them. What was the proof of the silencing at the time? He got some pressure in phone calls.

That was enough for all of the networks but not these thousands of E-mails. No, no, no, no. Shouldn't this be - oh, I don't know - everywhere now? The media couldn't get enough of every scandal that pops up from Lewinsky or Scooter Libby or you know, Mark Foley, Eliot Spitzer, apparently John Ensign.

All of them are, to varying degrees, important. But how much could any of those actually cost you? This scandal will literally cost you trillions of dollars. That's what's at stake worldwide. It's on how we deal with the climate.

And this scandal is so far invisible to everyone but FOX viewers. Think of it this way. Let's say you're an astronaut and you're getting ready to go out in space and we're going to switch from the space shuttle to the glorified smart car to get into orbit.

And everybody who's on the smart car team, they're like, "No, no, no. The science is settled. This is perfectly safe." And you're like, "Wait a minute. I want to ask you something." "No, don't ask any more questions."

How do you react when you find out that there are engineers who are privately deleting files to avoid any kind of oversight? Or that they're colluding to keep other engineers quiet that don't think there is going to be - I don't know - enough oxygen for the trip? Or that the data doesn't agree with their predetermined conclusions, so they assume the data just must be wrong?

When it's your body burning up in the atmosphere, I bet you'd be interested. Well, your body is about to be burned up. When trillions of dollars are at stake in the middle of a financial meltdown, maybe we should look into this one because it is getting hard to breathe in here.

Why would we get into the smart car economy when it is now clear that many of the people who are forcing us inside are no longer to be considered honest brokers? Look what we have learned here.

Well, look what you have learned by watching FOX. Highly questionable, possible illegal behavior from some of the top scientists who screamed the loudest about global warming. And on the political and economical side, the president hires Van Jones, who has admitted that there was a radical colonel in the green economy, which was an engine, quote, "for transforming the whole society," end quote.

We know how corrupt politicians are. We are now learning how some of the biggest names in science are not that far behind. There are thousands of other E-mails and documents that echo these same sentiments and scandals in this batch. As we confirmed them, I guess FOX and possibly FOX alone will bring them to you.

I want to make it clear. There are a lot of good scientists out there working hard to do what's right every day, a lot of good scientists that actually believe in global warming.

But even if you're a hard core believer, when you look at these E-mails, shouldn't those scientists and all those hard core believers say, "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let's clear this one up, because we're about to spend trillions of dollars. And it's based on the words of these people."

I, for one, am not willing to risk our country and our world's economic future on an unsure solution to an increasingly unsure problem. That's just in my head that that science is settled.

Indeed.

Science Czar Holdren is invilved with his part

See Michelle malkin and Dr Ball

 

Holdren helped erase the global warm period so we could claim the hottest temps

There goes that Beck again..

That hate filled, bigot, LYING, religous nut.                              Oh, I'm sorry, I must be channeling what the MSM will be saying tomorrow.

Exposure of truth

Why does it take Glen Beck to make this exposure of truth about global warming.  Its a big hoax, and no other network has the guts to tell the truth about it.  They are so in love with the Obama administration that they can't tell the truth.   I'm just plain disgusted with the MSM.  There is no global warming.  Get informed America. 

 

Guts has nothing to do with

Guts has nothing to do with it.  They are totally in the tank.

We'll have our ballot box revolt in 2010, but we also need one against the MSM.  Not buying their sponsers' products is a good start.

"We'll have our ballot box

"We'll have our ballot box revolt in 2010"

I'm not so sure about that.  We did not carry NY23 and CA10 in the last election. Given the mood of the electorate, that should have been in the bag.

I think the power the MSM still wields to misinform roughly half the electorate is going to be difficult to overcome.  Most of the people I encounter on a daily basis are Libs who hate Fox News.  None of them have any more than heard of Climategate and are derisive of it as an issue despite knowing literally nothing about it, this simply because it is reported by Fox News and not CNN/CBS etc.

NL, you echo my sentiments exactly

Too many get their information from the alpahbet news. And way too many don't care. 

Until we can break through the MSM and the apathy, we will find it hard to reverse course.

Has the win been declared

Has the win been declared official?

I picked up the other day. But, can't find it now. Hofman may have conceded too soon. He did so because he received faulty information on the numbers. By the final tally it was a very close election. With mail in votes maybe absentee votes still to come. It seemed unlikely he would make it up but it wasn't undoable.

Pelosi rushed swearing in Owen's to vote for health care. But NY was saying if Hofman won the election he takes the seat. Concession or not.

I don't know what the offical results are.

Considering Hofman came in late, was also fighting the republican establishment, with enough people voting for Scozzafava to throw him over. I think he did quite well.

Think of it as instant replay in the NFL. If the team rushes to the line of scrimmage and gets a play off after a play that should have been reviewed, that play is no longer reviewable. That's the Democrats' strategy with the NY23 race. Only this one is still reviewable. Let's hope it goes Hoffman's way.

Too many get their

Too many get their information from the alpahbet news. And way too many don't care. 

And they're too busy gushing over who's going to be at the state dinner, and what Michelle is going to wear.

All they care about is that Obama is "charming" and "smart" (to quote the latest Holly-babe) and that he and Michelle bring style (or is that "swagga"?) back to the White House.

ny23

The republicans in their wisdom spent over a million against him, he was a no name no personality "outsider".  His goal was to just upset the race, because he didn't want the Republican win...and almost won.  Given another week, he would of done better i think.

CA10 didn't get as much buzz...so anyway, the electorate isn't quite awake yet...but more and more people are motived to wake people up, and that gives me hope.

OPTIMIST...

 Yes the MSM is in the tank, but they are also gutless cowards. None of them want to be cut off by the Obama thug-ministration, & they do not want to be looked down upon by their peers in the MSM either.

I agree, vote them out in 2010, but if you really want a boycott, buy nothing from General Electric. They own NBC & MSNBC, among other things. Don't buy light bulbs, dishwashers, or jet engines...NOTHING.

I agree

It's not about ability or bravery.  There is good and there is evil.  What the MSM is doing is criminal.  And the fact that all but one of them are doing it is a RICO case.  They a systematically lying to the USA and peddling Obama's BS- to the point where they literally HAND OBAMA'S STAFF THEIR NETWORK'S CAMERAS. 

They are the lowest form of scum.  Traitors and destroyers.  You can see this reflected in the ratings.  Even left wing morons that can't see past their own hand can see that something is very very wrong.  That's bad.

 

Quite right, coming clean

Quite right, coming clean on the hoax now means admitting that they were complicit in aiding and abetting the hoaxers for twenty years. I certainly understand their reluctance.

I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for me. - Hunter S. Thompson

Oh that's an easy answer. 

Oh that's an easy answer.  Because there's a bunch of namby pamby zombie moonbats that want to believe that the earth is still "flat" essentially.  I swear, these mind numbed fools would believe anything Al Gore and Dohbama say to them.  They'd rather seem right than factual, regardless of the cost, i.e. DDT scare/farce that caused millions of Africans their lives from malaria.

The main reason I never

The main reason I never bought into this global warming scam was because I learned my lesson from the ozone layer scam (thank you, Bill Cooper, RIP).  Having a degree in science helped as well.

Others simply rejected it because Libtards believe it...and they got lucky.

In the long run though, this stuff's in the echo chamber, there's a Nobel Peace Prize that's been given plus several other awards, not to mention money, reputations, power, etc.  They aren't going to simply let this die...not until they get what they want out of it first.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

Yup. I took a few classes to

Yup. I took a few classes to know it's all BS. The "carbon dioxide is poison" shtick sent my BS meter pegging to the right.

With CO2 they'll ignore any

With CO2 they'll ignore any notion that it gets absorbed by the earth's surface water (2/3 of our planet...helloooo!), and fixed by marine phytoplankton into carbohydrates and other organic compounds.

Of course, the lowly phytoplankton are ignored...even though these geniuses in the MSM don't seem to realize that those these little guys make the majority of the world's diatomic oxygen...not the rain forest plants.

Then they want to drag in methane...oh, and cows...?  They must not have heard about all of the methane coming out of the earth's crust deep in the oceans and scientists haven't found all of these methane geysers yet.  Talk about an inconvenient truth there.

Oh, but they know science, and "science has returned to the White House."  What's next?  Astrology and phrenology?

I am going to get a petition up to nominate these whistle-blowers for a Nobel Prize.  Seems to me that is the least the Nobel committee could do for them since they gave Algore one for a complete blatant lie.

I also may send in a consideration for a Medal Of Freedom as well.  These are just the kind of public watchdogs our MEDIA should be.

Complicity and greed

The major networks won't ever publish this story because to do so would:

A. Expose their complicity in actively misleading the public, and

B. Displease their sponsors who pay to keep fear mongering articles front and center in order to profit by it.

Instead they will minimize, downplay, ignore and brazenly deny while the alarmists continue their well funded media assault.  

The only hope is if someone somewhere in a high place were to launch a high profile lawsuit against the persons involved.  That would force it into the news.  Whether they could win or not would not matter. 

Isn't about time for NBC to

Isn't about time for NBC to do another "Green Week"?

GREEN WEAK...

 d1carter,

I think they are doing one now, at least I think they have been. When I have watched football, I have noticed that their peacock logo has been green. That's becoming par for the course.

The funniest thing ever that the idiots at 30Rock did was a couple of years ago. During a one of their "green week" bits, during NFL studio show, they dimmed the lights & had candles to show their commitment to save energy. What was funny, that in the backround, they had a gigantic video board pumping out images. That thing was the size of a video board you would see as part of a scoreboard hanging in the center of an arena. The thing is huge, it's using tons of energy, but having a few candles instead of the studio lights really made a difference. Yeah right.

Some TV truly is going green

I work in the video business (NOT the MSM, thank God), and I see examples every day of both TV stations and video production facilities "going green." There are fluorescent lighting instruments that put out very flattering light (especially important for HD), and one station in San Francisco is using technology for its weather greenscreen wall that is the same as the small "glow-in-the-dark" nightlights, also saving about 2.4 kilowatts of energy.

And these technologies are not being built by GE, or BP, or any other "energy" company - but by small American firms. I'm proud to use American products on my productions (well, except for cameras, but Sony builds theirs in California). The networks that claim to be "green" are hypocrites. Want to be green? Sign off the air!

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act - Climate Advocates.

It seems to me that there is a basis for the RICO Act to prosecute NASA "scientists" (in quotes for the obvious reasons) and other types (Al Gore, maybe?) in their advocacy of this fraud on the American people.

Don't know about English citizens.  If we were more like Italy (getting there I think -:) ) we could indict them anyway and try them as international climate terrorists (scaring people and children to death).

Given the embedded interest in this mess, global government, green Federal Dollars, Nobel Prizes, large egos, etc - I don't see it coming to anything as far as policy goes, unless of course the ill-educated people from the Public School system over the past three generations suddenly wake up with critical thinking and well-founded minds.

Never happen.

The lame stream media is up to their same old dirty tricks I see

I have to believe that the reason no other networks are covering this charade is that they (the lame stream media) are complicit with the shenanigans that are going on. It is a "politically" and "ideologically" driven "sham" thrust upon the American people and the world by the liberal elitists, and the lame stream media is apparently equally and actively involved in trying to dupe us and the world into believing this garbage by their obvious attempts to actively suppress the truth and/or squelch the opposition, while they themselves seem hell bent on perpetrating these lies onto the American people and the world irregardless of the consequences it will have. Thank God for Fox News or we would all be in the dark, thanks to the lame stream media. And I do mean "lame".

sharkey - TOTAL CORRUPTION

Absolutely.

I live in NYC and have worked at NBC in the 30 Rock building. As we all know, they're in total cahoots with GE, and last year when I was there they plastered their elevator doors, lobby walls, etc., with a massive GO-GREEN campaign.

This whole thing has been a scam on such a mammoth scale, with all of these major corporations in on it.
