Mark Steyn notes the MSM malpractice which allowed the AGW scammers to get away with it for so long:
You have to assume that America’s dying monodailies are now actively auditioning for state ownership. How else to explain the silence of the massed ranks of salaried “environmental correspondents” on the daily revelations emerging from the fast disintegrating “scientific consensus” on “climate change”? You get livelier coverage from the Chinese press.
But in competitive newspaper markets they still know a story when they see one. Surely the most worrying sign for the thuggish enforcers of “settled science” is that even the eco-lefties at the Guardian and the Independent, two of the most gung-ho warm-mongers on the planet, are beginning to entertain doubts.
Read the whole thing and follow the links for even more eye-opening information.
It is clear that the theory of anthropogenic global warming is false – that the climate heated up a bit in the late 20th century is likely, but that human beings were the primary or even substantial cause is laughably false. It is also clear, from recently uncovered information, that a determined effort to find out the truth would have uncovered this scam years ago, long before all the money was raked in by Al Gore.
The MSM wonders why we don’t trust it – the simple answer is because the MSM is untrustworthy. While truth does get reported, we know that lies do, as well and we can never be certain that the story we’re getting is the truth until later investigation confirms or denies it. Not every story in the NY Times is a lie, but only a fool would accept the veracity of any given NY Times story unless it is confirmed by at least one other, credible source. The failure of the MSM in Climategate just underscores the MSM’s long term failure.
Fortunately, we have the New Media all set to take the MSM’s place.
