Media Reporting On Climategate:
Another possibly more important question is why has most of this
information which challenges the AGW orthodoxy not been reported by
American main stream media outlets? Reviewing the reference sources
below, it becomes clear that almost every report originated either in
the UK, or from independent internet reporters. American newspapers,
radio, television and major magazines have remained virtually silent on the
subject of Climategate, with a few minor exceptions, while National Public
Radio (NPR) continuing its active propaganda machine in service of the
government's takeover of the entire US economy as the only possible
solution to avoiding an Armageddon that is not coming. There is an agenda
operating here, with the media organizations having transformed themselves
from the role of reporter of the facts, into organs for government policy
indoctrination. The failure to report on the ongoing Climategate story
clearly demonstrates why these established media outlets deserve the rapid
death they are currently experiencing. They have failed in their purpose
of objectively reporting verified facts, and can no longer be relied upon
as a source of unbiased information.
As reported by James Taranto in the
Wall Street Journal,
one very clear example of the media bias in action can be seen in the
difference between The New York Times' response to the release of the
leaked material from the East Anglia Climate Research Unit as compared
to that released by WikiLeaks, concerning the U.S. Embassy and war efforts.
On The Climategate Documents:
"The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all
manner of private information and statements that were never intended
for the public eye, so they won't be posted here."

On The WikiLeaks Documents:
"The articles published today and in coming days are based on thousands
of United States embassy cables, the daily reports from the field
intended for the eyes of senior policy makers in Washington. ... The
Times believes that the documents serve an important public interest,
illuminating the goals, successes, compromises and frustrations of
American diplomacy in a way that other accounts cannot match."
