Climategate And The Suicide Of The Mainstream News Media

It seems as though global warming is a consensus, as long as you reside entirely within the community of scientists who pull down millions in government grants and their propaganda organ.

Climategate is a global household name. No cat has ever emancipated itself more completely from the bag. It is a world-wide scandal – thanks to the internet. Yet, as its ramifications proliferate and dominoes continue to fall, the most repeatedly asked question online is: how can the mainstream media ignore this? Well, we know the answer to that: the MSM are in thrall to the leftist consensus. End of story.

And yet, even as Climategate became a household name, the mainstream media have continued to ignore the story. As was with the case of ACORN and John Edwards, the news slipped around the filters.

[T]he obvious scoop – the BIG ONE of journalistic mythology – is consigned to the waste basket. This is the journalism of Isvestia and Pravda, with all the commercial viability that attached to that school of news reporting.
