Via FOX News:
ABC didn’t cover it. CBS didn’t either. And NBC apparently wouldn’t go near it.
The network news broadcasts have ignored a growing scandal over evidence of a potential climate cover-up — and now they’ve even been scooped by the fake news at Comedy Central.
“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” produced its “reporting” on Climate-gate Tuesday night, when Stewart quipped, “Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. Oh, oh, the irony!”
Stewart described leaked e-mails from Britain’s University of East Anglia, including one referring to a researcher’s “trick” to “hide the decline” in some temperature readings in recent decades.
“It’s just scientist-speak for using a standard statistical technique — recalibrating data – in order to trick you,” Stewart said sarcastically.
Nearly two weeks since news broke of the e-mail scandal, climate change skeptics have gloated; a leading climate scientist has resigned; at least one U.S. lawmaker has called for an investigation, and countless prominent news outlets have deemed the story worthy of major reporting.
Still, according to a report Wednesday morning by the conservative Media Research Center, “none of the broadcast network weekday morning and evening news shows addressed Climate-Gate or the incriminating Jones development. … This marked 12 days since the information was first uncovered that they have ignored this global scandal.”
The US media outlets, constantly possessing a left-leaning agenda on both What and How they broadcast their version of the news, have said nothing about ClimateGate, a slap in the face to Liberals who have told us over and over that man-made global warming is going to destroy the planet.
The Business & Media Institute had just as much trouble finding the networks’ Climate-gate coverage.
“An examination of morning and evening news programs on ABC, CBS and NBC since Nov. 20 yielded zero mentions of the scandal, even in the Nov. 25 reports about Obama going to Copenhagen to discuss the need for emissions reductions,” the Institute reported Wednesday.
But during that time, the Institute says, “the networks reported on pro-golfer Tiger Woods’ ‘minor’ car accident at least 37 times. They also found time to report on an orphaned Moose and the meal selection at the president’s State Dinner.”
Media Research Center President Brent Bozell reacted to the findings saying, “To pretend this story simply doesn’t exist is damning to journalism.”
True, but Mr. Bozell is grossly incorrect in assuming that the major network news outlets in the US are even attempting anything resembling journalism, that the major network news outlets in the US have ever attempted to hire genuine journalists. What the major network news outlets are doing has absolutely nothing to do with providing news to the citizens of the US, but rather to indoctrinate the masses into their narrow political belief system.
And these are the same media outlets that are considering pressuring Congress to give them taxpayer money to financially bail them out of trouble?
