When, oh when will the television MSM start to cover Climategate?
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 the Times 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.
The problem here is likely two-fold:
1. They, naturally, don’t want to embarrass themselves or the leftwing groups they shill for.
2. They have probably got a whole bunch of global warming stories in the can for broadcast during the Gropenhagen conference and don’t want all the gloom and doom stuff to go to waste.
But, seriously, does anyone out there really want to deny the overt, leftist bias of the MSM? I mean, come on – this is the biggest scandal in science since the “Piltdown Man“; and the biggest political scandal since Watergate. There are plenty of money-making scams to be exposed and plenty of politicians who should be forced out of office and/or in to jail over this…and the television media, which lives for just this sort of thing (when a Republican is on the receiving end) is silent! Its like they want Fox and the blogosphere to replace them.
So be it. So we will.
