U.K. Journalist and ClimateGate Vanguard: Global Warming Debate as 'Im
If you asked people what the two key events in the 20th century were, most would likely point to World Wars I and II because they transformed civilization. However, can something like the debate over climate change be as equally transformative? James Delingpole, author of "Welcome to Obamaland: I've Seen Your Future And It Doesn't Work," spoke at the Heartland Institute's International…
BBC News Anchor Arrested After Broadcasting He Euthanized Gay Lover

According to the Examiner, February 17: Veteran BBC broadcast journalist Ray Gosling was arrested today after admitting on his show that he killed his gay lover. The 70-year-old confessed to smothering his former lover…
Environment Writer: Ignore the Record Cold; Global Warming Is Happenin
Brrrrrr!Ignore the record shattering freezing weather surrounding you. Global Warming is happening. Please believe me. Oh, pretty please!

Big Hack Attack: Global Warming Exposed as 'Globaloney
UPDATE: Also see Noel Sheppard's post on the same topic, where more names are named. Two months ago, there was the "Dog Ate My Global Warming Data" episode. As noted at NewsBusters and at BizzyBlog (original source: National Review Online), we learned that important original information forming the underpinning of global warming alarmists' claims about the earth heating up has vanished.

Guardian Writer: If Obama Can't Defeat the Republican Headbangers, Our
It is a post-apocalyptic world. The oceans are a grayish brown, not blue. No green vegetation. In fact, no life on the planet at all. Just heat, wind, and dust. The movie on how this happened could be called Terminator 5: Rise of the Republicans.This is pretty much the scenario that Jonathan Freedland of the U.K. Guardian paints in his article laughably titled If Obama can't defeat the Republican…
UK's NHS 'Liverpool Care Pathway' Looks an Awful Lot Like a Death Pane
There's a reason Matt Drudge just got done celebrating an all-time record August traffic count. His visitors know that he constantly links to newsworthy stories they likely won't find reported prominently in establishment U.S. media outlets, if they're reported at all. Such will likely be the case with a blockbuster story coming out of Great Britain tonight, courtesy of the U.K. Telegraph. It…
Another NHS Story U.S. Media Will Likely Ignore: Widespread Use of For
I don't anticipate that those in the UK who are rushing to the defense of their precious National Health Service (NHS) will be bringing up the item that follows any time soon, nor do I expect the U.S. statist heath care cheerleaders to take note of it. The UK Daily Mail tells us that NHS is importing general practitioners who commute from foreign countries. Wait until you see the reason why, and…

UK Paper Exposes US Proposal For Mass Bulldozing Urban Neighborhoods
Leave it to the British press to once again do the job of real reporting that U.S. journalists apparently won't do.This time, it's Tom Leonard at the UK Telegraph. From Flint, Michigan, he tells us of a "pioneering scheme" that involves tearing down entire neighborhoods and simply abandoning them -- oops, I'm sorry, I meant to say, "returning them to nature."This is apparently what passes for…
UK Journalists Strike Back at WH Press Secretary's 'Sneering and Conde
There is little argument that the British press is doing a better job than its U.S. counterparts covering the Obama administration's less than perfect performance. If the reactions of Nile Gardiner and James Delingpole at the UK Telegraph to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs's blanket criticism of British journalism are any indication, UK reporters are also more willing to stand up for…
WH Press Secretary Goes After British Press; Can Clintonian Conspiracy
Those of us seeking truth in reporting, especially the inconvenient truths about a Democratic presidential administration, are re-learning the lessons of the Clinton Era: First, that the "newspapers of record," the Associated Press, and the major TV networks (except Fox) are usually the last places you want to go to learn what's really going on, and the first place to visit if you want a…
