MSM Still Silent on ClimateGate


The ClimateGate scandal broke more than a week ago, and as I survey the MSM (i.e. "elite media", "establishment media", "state-controlled media", "dinosaur media" ... take your pick), the top news stories seem to be Tiger Woods' accident and nasty gossip surrounding him, the media whore couple that crashed the Obamas' Thanksgiving dinner, Sarah Palin drawing crowds (much to the dismay of Libs), the requisite collection of dreadful murder-on-Thanksgiving stories, Black Friday reports, and the "gee, we missed Osama bin Laden back in 2001 in Tora Bora." (Why the hell is that news?  We know that already.  Talk about re-runs!)  These stories are all distractions.


But, where are the reports on ClimateGate?!?  Why the hell is the press sitting on this?!?  I thought the press loved a good scandal!  Could it be that our in-bed-with-Obama-and-the-Left media are going to have to eat major crow?  I remember, for example, Ann Curry of NBC begging Al Gore to run for president.  She personifies our current agenda-driven press.

The scandal is breaking in other parts of the world, but here in the U.S. you only hear about it via the "non-news", such as FoxNews, bloggers, and Glenn Beck.  Our press is ignoring what foreign news agencies are reporting, such as this from RT:

                

In the interview, Peter Lilley, British Tory MP and physicist by training, makes some eye-opening comments about the scandal: that the climate scientists are determined to agree with each other, trying to change facts rather than change their theory, and feel morally superior, because they feel they're on a crusade to save the world.  Lilley reminds us, too, of the large government grants the scientists receive.  Lilley, though, believes that this scandal will be a big blow to the environmentalist movement and to their credibility; however, he cautions that the momentum and money are so large, it will take much more to derail the theory of climate change.

Here's a valuable exercise: Go to the various news websites and, in the search bar, type "climategate."  If that gets no results, which will be the case on most sites, then try "global warming."  It seems that most news sites don't even mention the hacked e-mails.  Some news sites just continue plowing headlong into promoting the global warming 'crisis' with nary a mention of the "real news."

Here's how Joseph Finlay on American Thinker describes how the story broke in other parts of the world while being blocked here in the U.S. ("ClimateGate: 'the stones cry out'"):
Note carefully the fact that this modern shot heard round the world first found a point of entry through Russia, then Saudi Arabia, and then Turkey - next Europe, and lastly the United States.

In other words, the traditionally supposed intellectual freedom and free speech climate of the West was "stoney ground" in comparison to the accessibility of outlets under the more repressive regimes of Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Perhaps the greater story is the truth itself - and its indomitable will to reveal itself through even the most unlikely of conduits and efforts of even one individual arrayed against a worldwide apparatus of dishonesty.

Jesus, in Luke 19:40, when admonished to silence the truth, made a startling claim about the geological record that collided with accepted scientific notions in His day:

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
It would appear that the repression of truth in the scientic community and the MSM in the west has indeed caused "the stones to cry out."

This will be another scoop the "non-news" entities will have that will undercut, yet again, the establishment media.  In the meantime, our Pravda-like press will continue spewing out distractions so the public will go unaware of ClimateGate.  The radicals and the Obama administration must pass Cap and Trade, right?  The taxpayers be damned!  Then entangle the U.S. in Kyoto Treaty nonsense, all to the detriment of America.   Full steam ahead!
