ClimateGate: The Continuing Media Blackout (Done On Purpose!)

Fourteen days ago, the world was first told about the email hacking at the Hadley CRU Institute at East Anglia University in England. The blogs were the first to take up the cause to expose the criminality of all of the so called "Global Warming" experts, including the kingpin himself, Sir Al of Gore! The MSM first refused to even mention the facts exposed by this scandal, but Fox News first came across the facts and has run with it ever since.

But what about the big Three Media Outlets in America? CBS/NBC/ABC have put up almost NOTHING to this day about this event that may be THE most important exposure in the last few decades! Why? What exactly are they avoiding? Here is a great article from www.mrc.org that talks about the big Three Media blackout that is still going on today. My comments will follow:

Bozell Defends Networks’ Silence on ClimateGate:
“Maybe They Just Don’t Know”

Alexandria, VA – For the fourteenth straight day, the three broadcast networks have failed to report on the great and growing ClimateGate scandal on their weekday morning or evening news programs. How to explain this?

Perhaps it is that ABC, NBC and CBS have not yet heard of the story, despite two weeks of non-stop reporting on and discussion of ClimateGate in a whole host of media outlets.

Perhaps the broadcast networks only trust their fellow liberal press outlets, like the New York Times. Perhaps they don’t realize the Times exhibited journalistic diligence on ClimateGate, with a front page story the day the story broke.

In the event that ABC News, NBC News and CBS News missed the news, the Media Research Center (MRC) is today rushing each of them a copy of theTimes story, in the hopes that armed with this new information, they will finally report a story that has been roiling nearly everywhere else for a fortnight.

So as not to offend the networks’ pro-global warming sensibilities, MRC President Brent Bozell is looking to have the stories delivered by bicycle messenger.

Bozell:

“Ignorance is no excuse under the law, but maybe we should stop criticizing and start showing compassion for NBC, ABC and CBS and their neglect of the huge ClimateGate story. We are more than happy to help rectify their knowledge deficit – via a network-friendly source and in an as environmentally-friendly a way as possible.

“We think that once the networks read the story of ClimateGate in their vaunted New York Times, they’ll feel compelled to report it themselves.

“We very much look forward to seeing the fruits of their labor.”

[UPDATE, Dec 5: Friday evening, NBC Nightly News finally mentions ClimateGate, but frets it could "delay taking action." ABC and CBS remain silent. Read more here.]

NTS Notes: Many people do not realize that the possible explanation as to the Media blackout is due to the fact that many of these media corporations, especially NBC which is owned by General Electric, could make handsome profits by the passing of any Green Legislation! Is that the true reason for their blackout of this most important event?

Once again it is up to the bloggers to keep up the fight against Saint Al of Gore and his band of merry criminals. Lets make sure that any passage of Green Laws is stopped dead in its tracks!

More to come
