Global Warming Scandal and the News Networks
If you have watched any news lately, you would think the only thing going on in the world is problems in Tiger Woods’ life. Well, it turns out there is a major scandal in the environmental community.
It seems leading climate researchers have been exposed, by hackers into their system, as admitting to manipulating climate data to suit their ends, destroying raw data, which presumably didn’t suit their ends, and systematically marginalizing, ostracizing and blackballing any opposition in the name of peer review.
If you have missed all this, perhaps it is because the three news networks, CBS, NBC and ABC have carried a total of zero stories on the subject while running at least 37 stories on Tiger Woods (see http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,578990,00.html?test=latestnews). If you think there is no news bias or that any of the climate change hysteria is about the climate or the environment, you are sadly misinformed.
If you would like some coverage of the scandal, I recommend reading from some of the following:
