The Mainstream Media’s Denial of Legitimacy



Corinne Dalelio

October 7, 2009

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is true in the physical world, and even if you cannot clearly see how it applies in the social world, the fact cannot be denied that every action taken by a person or group of people has the potential for negative consequences. A book written, a news program aired, a video filmed, a law enacted, a precedent set, all of these, no matter how benign the intent, have the potential to, and often do, affect our society, and therefore the lives of all, in various ways.

When faced with such potentially consequential actions, it is a natural reaction for people to feel overwhelmed and apprehensive, questioning in what directions they may take us and our society. In the mainstream media in America, however, such questions are often dealt with in one of two ways: they are either left unaddressed, or portrayed as the most extreme version of those negative consequences, allowing for their quick dismissal.

An example of the former can be seen in the reporting on the protests at the G20 in Pittsburgh last month. Few mainstream news articles and reports mentioned the fact that LRAD devices, or sound weapons, were used on the American people for the first time, but even those that did, decided not to even question whether or not this was a good idea. This is but one example of many, including but not limited to coverage of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, third party presidential campaigns, the passing of 1,000 page bills like the Patriot Act or the stimulus bill, the appointment of a sitting president to the head of the UN security council, secret meetings of heads of state, the illegal arrest and detainment of American citizens without a trial and so on and so forth. This list could go on for pages, so I will spare you the wasted screen space and move on.

An example of the latter can be observed in the media’s version of the healthcare reform debate, in which the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research, a real panel of 15 individuals created in the Stimulus bill to determine the agenda of healthcare research in order to discover what’s “effective” in healthcare (see H.R. 1, Title VII), and being given more authority in the proposed healthcare reform act to make recommendations to healthcare providers so that they may “more informed healthcare decisions” (see H.R. 3200, Title IV, Subtitle A), is reduced to a paranoid delusion about “death panels.” Thus, real concerns about the council, such as the fact that the individual in charge of bioethics, Ezekiel Emmanuel, has written that doctors take their Hippocratic oath too seriously, and that healthcare priorities should be focused on those aged 15-40, and not wasted on those younger or older, are never dealt with.



Again, “death panels” are just one of a litany of reductive terms that obfuscate serious and legitimate concerns and turn them into fodder for smirking pundits (“birther,” “conspiracy theories,” and “tea-bagging,” to name a few). I would also include in that list anything that reduces a concern to a “left-wing,” “right-wing,” “liberal” or “conservative” issue, as it automatically eliminates that concern’s credibility to those who identify with one team or the other.

So, now we must turn to the meta-question: why have such questions been stifled? Why has the mainstream media abandoned their watchdog role and begun reducing serious and normal public concerns to dust? What are the consequences of the media’s actions? That is something to seriously be considered and dealt with (although, of course, you won’t see it seriously addressed in the media).

We now have a situation in this country where people are being paid to discredit us. Enough is enough. We can no longer trust these people to research the issues for us. I don’t care if you sometimes agree with what they say. Turn off your TVs, folks, and find out the facts yourselves.

Mao and Rockefeller: Beck Fails to Call Out the Real Monsters



Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
October 17, 2009

Glenn Beck continues his false right-left shell game in the video clip here. He spotlights a speech by Anita Dunn, the interim White House Communications Director, who says Mao is her favorite political philosopher. Glenn Beck feigns outrage and tells us Obama is surrounded by progressive radicals. His now infamous chalkboard contains photos of Mao, Stalin, Dunn, and the Soviet hammer and sickle.

Beck’s diatribe comes a few days after Dunn issued a denunciation of Fox News on CNN. She said Fox is a “vehicle for Republican Party propaganda and an ideological opponent of the president.” She accused Fox of operating “as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party. And it is not ideological… what I think is fair to say about Fox, and the way we view it, is that it is more of a wing of the Republican Party.”

Beck and Dunn are playing a diversionary game. Fox’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, courted Democrat Hillary Clinton and backed her run for president. CNN enthusiastically covered Republican Bush’s murderous invasion of Iraq and refused to allow equal time for those opposed to the carnage. CNN has maintained a close relationship with the Pentagon and the non-partisan war and mass murder machine, as Alexander Cockburn has noted. Beyond the phony partisan theatrics, there is not a lick of difference between the two disinformation and propaganda outlets. Both are disinfo mills for the New World Order.





Beck wants you to believe the people surrounding Obama are communists. That’s why he has the Soviet symbol on his blackboard. In fact, the people surrounding Obama — not minor and peripheral figures like Anita Dunn — are bankster operatives, members of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group. The really important figures behind Obama are one-world globalists who admire the sort of authoritarianism put into practice by Mao.

Tim Geithner, Susan Rice, Gen. James L. Jones, Paul Volker, Richard Haass, Richard Holbrooke, and Dennis Ross — these are members of the Trilats, the CFR, and the Bilderberg Group. Volker and Geithner are former Federal Reserve operatives. Sec. State Clinton is married to a high-level Bilderberger and Trilateral Commission member. She has attended Bilderberg meetings. Geithner cut his teeth at Kissinger Associates.

Henry Kissinger has spoken fondly of Obama. So has Rockefeller operative Zbigniew Brzezinski. Kissinger was the first diplomat to visit Communist China. A few years before Kissinger met with Mao Zedong, the Chinese dictator launched the Cultural Revolution and had 30 million people killed. Kissinger, a world-class war criminal, was in good company.

Why didn’t Beck mention Kissinger in his diatribe about China and Mao? He didn’t dare. Glenn Beck knows who the boss is — the global elite and a coterie of international bankers. It’s easier and far more safe to pick on a crop of puny socialists and academic dreamers with hangovers from the 1960s.

The banksters loved Mao because he represented the sort of government they cherish – a brutal dictatorship ready to slaughter millions at the drop of a hat.


“Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose,” declared David Rockefeller. “The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.”

China’s “social experiment” includes the murder of nearly 80 million people, a vast political prison system, the brutal repression in Tian’anmen Square (between 6,000 – 10,000 killed), the systematic murder of political prisoners for their internal organs, and a sprawling slave labor complex cranking out manufactured goods.

“Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite,” wrote the late Gary Allen. “If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs.”

Behind the flaccid rhetoric of Glenn Beck with his blackboard of academics and low-level Obama bureaucrats stands the power-seeking megalomaniacs who own lock, stock, and barrel the government and the corporate Mockingbird media. The elite use media to divert serious discussion and activism into a dead end circus side show of Republican vs. Democrat, progressive vs. neocon, ad nauseam.

Beck’s show is instructional for members of the 9-12 movement, specifically designed to foster hatred of Democrats and “socialists” who in fact work for the same bankers Beck does. Most people following Beck’s 9-12 have their hearts in the right place. It’s too bad they are following the Pied Piper of the global elite.

ACORN and Anita Dunn, while despicable, are warts on the backside of a Tyrannosaurus rex. It’s Beck’s job to keep us focused on the small stuff while the beast continues its quest to enslave the entire world and turn it into a prison planet based on the very slave plantation Beck criticizes.

MEDIA LIES: More Garbage from the Daily Star and the Sun!

October 28, 2009 by News Team
Filed under BNP Party News, Regional News


The media lie machine is still in massive overdrive due to the enormous public backlash against the bullying of BNP Chairman Nick Griffin on Question Time last week. Today the BNP’s Media Rebuttal Unit has lodged two formal complaints with the Press Complaints Commission over articles in the Daily Star and The Sun:

DAILY STAR COMPLAINT

The Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice clause 1 reads as follows:

“Accuracy. i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.”

In an article entitled “BNP MEMBERS TURN ON ‘STUPID’ LEADER”, the Daily Star has claimed that “The knives were out for BNP leader Nick Griffin”. THIS IS INACCURATE.

The so-called ‘BNP members’ mentioned in this article are non-BNP extremists who have posted on the Stormfront website, which is nothing to do with the British National Party. This whole article is grossly inaccurate. In fact, Stormfront has always been very hostile to the BNP.

To pass hostile third-party extremists off as ‘BNP members’ is misleading the public. We demand that the Daily Star retract this story and print a correction in the same prominent fashion in which they have printed the article in question.

THE SUN COMPLAINT

The Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice clause 1 reads as follows: “Accuracy. i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.”

freefastfairThe Sun has printed an article entitled “BNP squaddie in Nazi salute”. This story is an expose of Craig Orwin, a soldier in the British Army. This article is grossly misleading and inaccurate because Craig Orwin is NOT a BNP member and NEVER has been.

Furthermore, staff at The Sun newspaper did NOT contact the BNP in any way whatsoever to check the veracity of their claims, which indicates that they went ahead and published this fictitious story in order to besmirch the reputation of the British National Party without checking their facts first, as is good practise in journalism.

We demand that The Sun retract this story and print a correction in the same prominent fashion in which they have printed the article in question.

Ceding the Internet to “Global Governance”


The Heritage Foundation
October 28, 2009

Last month, President Obama proudly announced at the United Nations the steps taken under his administration to “embrace a new era of engagement” in international affairs by correcting the actions of past administration that might lead people to “question the character and cause” of America including supporting the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, addressing global warming through the U.N., joining the Human Rights Council, signing the Disabilities Convention, supporting the Millennium Development Goals, and paying America’s arrears to the United Nations without asking the organization to implement reforms to prevent those payments from being misused.

Well, we can add another dubious decision to the list of sacrifices the Obama Administration has made to alter of international engagement. Today it was announced that the Obama Administration had agreed to cede much U.S. control over the non-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that regulates and manages the Domain Name System under which Internet Protocol addresses and registration of top-level domains like .org and .com are assigned. According to a story in the Guardian:

The deal, part of a contract negotiated with the US department of commerce, effectively pushes California-based Icann towards a new status as an international body with greater representation from companies and governments around the globe.



Icann had previously been operating under the auspices of the American government, which had control of the net thanks to its initial role in developing the underlying technologies used for connecting computers together.

But the fresh focus will give other countries a more prominent role in determining what takes place online, and even the way in which it happens – opening the door for a virtual United Nations, where many officials gather to discuss potential changes to the internet.

Under the previous arrangement, the U.S. government retained veto power over ICANN’s decisions. Although the U.S. government was very hands-off with managing ICANN, the relationship helped insulate the Internet from political influence of states threatened or frustrated by the freedom of that medium. As discussed in a 2005 Heritage WebMemo, the United Nations has sought for some time to acquire authority over ICANN at the behest of a number of countries who wish to tax or regulate it. As noted in the paper:

For decades, the Internet has developed with a minimum of government interference. The core governance of the medium has been performed by non-governmental entities and overseen by the U.S. government, which has exercised a light regulatory touch. It is no coincidence that the medium has prospered from this benign neglect, growing from a research curiosity into a major force in the world economy and an invaluable venue for the exchange of information….

The result of a UN controlled and regulated Internet would be that non-democratic countries that oppose the right to free speech such as China and grasping, anti-market impulses like those of the European Union would have a greater voice in guiding the Internet in a direction away from “freedom, education, and innovation.” If the Internet cannot be a government-free zone, it should be governed in a manner that minimizes restrictions rather than imposing international standards that restrict Internet freedom. Given the stakes, the U.S. must stand firm and reject efforts to internationalize governance of the Internet.

Quite simply, the decision of the Obama administration increases the vulnerability of the Internet to political pressure, censorship, and strangling regulation and taxation. Welcome to “responsibility and leadership in the 21st century” under the Obama Administration.

News Corp Sites ‘To Be Removed From Google’



Adam Arnold
Sky News Online
November 9, 2009


News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch has suggested the company’s online newspaper pages will be invisible to Google users when it launches its new paid content strategy.

He claimed that readers who randomly reach a page via an internet search hold little value to advertisers.

When asked by Sky News Australia’s political editor David Speers why News Corp has not stopped Google from finding its content, Mr Murdoch replied: “I think we will.”

He cited the Wall Street Journal as an example of where only the first paragraph comes up on search engines and is free. Anything after that is subscription-based.

Paid Lying - What Passes For Major
Media Journalism
By Stephen Lendman
11-9-9


Today's major media journalism is biased, irresponsible, sensationalist reporting that distorts, exaggerates or misstates the truth. It's misinformation or agitprop disinformation masquerading as fact to boost circulation, readership, viewers, or listeners, and on vital issues lie about or suppress uncomfortable truths to provide unqualified support for state and/or corporate interests - to the detriment of the greater good that's always sacrificed for profits and imperial aims.

As a result, major media sources produce a daily propaganda diet and what Project Censored calls "junk food news," and get most people to believe it. In their landmark book, Manufacturing Consent, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky explained the "propaganda model" that controls the public message by "filter(ing)" disturbing truths, "leaving (behind) only the cleansed residue fit to print" or air.

Today the media is in crisis and a free and open society at risk at a time fiction substitutes for fact, news is carefully controlled, dissent marginalized, and on-air and print journalists support powerful interests as paid liars, or what famed journalist George Seldes (1890 - 1995) called "prostitutes of the press."

As a result, imperial wars are called liberating ones. Civil liberties are suppressed for our own good. Major topics go unaddressed or are misrepresented. Government and business interests are endorsed wholeheartedly. America is always called "beautiful." Beneficial social change is considered heresy. The market works best, we're told, so let it, and patriotism means supporting lawlessness and corporate outlaws by shopping till we drop.

The New York Times - Its Lead Role in Distorting and Suppressing Truth

For many decades, The Times has been the closest thing in America to an official ministry of information and propaganda masquerading as real news, commentary and analysis.

Its unmatched clout once got media critic Norman Solomon to call its front page "the most valuable square inches of media real estate in the USA;" most everywhere, in fact, because its reports are widely circulated and followed globally.

The Paper of Record has a long history of:

-- supporting the powerful;

-- backing corporate interests;

-- endorsing imperial wars;

-- supporting CIA efforts to topple elected governments, assassinate independent leaders, prop up friendly dictators, secretly fund and train paramilitary death squads, practice sophisticated forms of torture, and menace democratic freedoms at home and abroad. For decades, in fact, some Times' foreign correspondents were covert Agency assets. Others today likely are as well as other prominent fourth estate members.

The Times management is also comfortable with:

-- Washington and corporate lawlessness;

-- an unprecedented and growing wealth gap;

-- Wall Street banksters looting the federal treasury;

-- a private banking cartel controlling the nation's money;

-- unmet human needs and increasing poverty, hunger, homelessness, and despair for growing millions in a nation run by rogue politicians who don't give a damn as long as they're re-elected;

-- a de facto one-party state;

-- deep corruption at the highest government and corporate levels;

-- democracy for the select few alone;

-- sham elections; and

-- a deepening social decay symptomatic of a declining state, yet The Times management won't use its clout to expose and help reverse it.

Of course, the same applies throughout the corporate media, the only variance being audience size, the ability to influence it, and the special impact of TV news and talk radio to arouse their faithful. Plus their power of round-the-clock persuasive repetition.

Examples of Journalism, New York Times Style

After a Washington staged February 29, 2004 middle-of-the-night coup ousted democratically elected Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, The Times March 1 editorial lied by:

-- stating he resigned;

-- saying sending in Marines to abduct him "was the right thing to do;"

-- claiming they only came after "Mr. Aristide yielded power;"

-- blaming him for "contribut(ing) significantly to his own downfall (because of his) increasingly autocratic and lawless rule....;" and

-- accusing him of manipulating the 2000 legislative elections and not "deliver(ing) the democracy he promised."

In fact, he's a beloved democrat first elected in 1990 with 67% of the vote, ousted by a Usupported coup months later, returned to Haiti in 1994, then, because he couldn't succeed himself in 1996, ran in 2000 and was overwhelmingly re-elected with 92% of the vote. Today in exile, the great majority of Haitians want him back but paramilitary occupiers, under orders from Washington, won't let him.

Following Hugo Chavez's December 1998 election, The Times Latin American reporter, Larry Roher, wrote:

Regional "presidents and party leaders are looking over their shoulders (concerned about the) specter (they) thought they had safely interred: that of the populist demagogue, the authoritarian man on horseback known as the caudillo (strongman)" taking power.

Ever since, Times writers consistently:

-- turned a blind eye to Venezuelan democracy;

-- bashed Chavez as "divisive, a ruinous demagogue, provocative (and) the next Fidel Castro;"

-- said he "militarized the government, emasculated the country's courts, intimidated the media, eroded confidence in the economy, and hollowed out Venezuela's once-democratic institutions:" common conditions during decades of pre-Chavez rule that columnist Roger Lowenstein falsely said exist now in:

-- calling him anti-capitalist for sharing his nation's oil wealth with the people by providing essential social services, and for lifting the most needy out of poverty; and

-- denouncing his making foreign investors pay their fair share.

Lowenstein backed the aborted April 2002 coup by calling Chavez's ouster a "resignation," then saying Venezuela "no longer (would be) threatened by a would-be dictator."

Post-/911, the Times played the lead role in taking the nation to war by highlighting the "day of terror" and saying the "President Vows to Exact Punishment for 'Evil.' "

In the run-up to the Iraq war, Judith Miller was a weapon of mass deception with her daily front page Pentagon press release columns masquerading as real news, later exposed as manipulative lies, but they worked.

Following the September 15, 2009 Goldstone Commission report, a same day Neil MacFarquhar column suggested that Israel's "disproportionate attack" followed Hamas provocations, so perhaps it was justified. While The Times gave Judge Goldstone op-ed space, it:

-- published scathing letters denouncing his "one-sidedness" and a September 18 piece saying "the Obama administration said (today) that a United Nations report accusing Israel of war crimes in Gaza was unfair to Israel and did not take adequate account of 'deplorable' actions by the militant group Hamas in the conflict last winter."

The paper then imposed a near-blackout on its news and editorial pages to bury the story and kill it through silence - never mind its importance in documenting clear evidence of Israeli war crimes against a civilian population.

Media Missing the Plot on ‘Climate Gate’: It’s the Fraud, Stupid!



Christopher C. Horner
Big Government
November 23, 2009


To the credit of the New York Times, Associated Press and Washington Post — reliable outlets for promoting global warming alarmism, protecting those who craft it and marginalizing those who point out its weaknesses and excesses — they all ran stories in the past 48 hours addressing the documents somehow obtained from the computers of a UK university serving as the warming movement and industry’s Mother Ship. My great surprise is even greater because these outlets have demonstrated a pattern of only giving ink to embarrassing controversies after a week or so, once it appears that damage control is needed and the alarmists have gotten their story straight.

I documented this pattern in a book published one year ago this month, subtly titled “ Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed.” The title says it all, including all that surely seems to have been affirmed by the documents posted, by “anonymous” on a Russian server and otherwise covering his tracks.

Since this affirms, not “reveals”, the scandal that so many have been explaining is the global warming industry, it also raises the issue of how can each of these media outlets still miss the plot? Well, they are doing so in a fashion so uniform, and in the face of such outrageous exposition of the scandal that is unfolding, that I conclude it is nonetheless yet another exercise in damage-control.

Climategate: how the MSM reported the greatest scandal in modern science

James Delingpole
London Telegraph
Monday, Nov 23rd, 2009

Here’s what the Times has had to say on the subject:

E-mails allegedly written by some of the world’s leading climate scientists have been stolen by hackers and published on websites run by climate change sceptics.

The sceptics claim that the e-mails are evidence that scientists manipulated data in order to strengthen their argument that human activities were causing global warming.

(Yep – definitely an improvement on their earlier, non-existent coverage; but not exactly pointing up the scandalousness of this scandal).

And the Independent:

(Yep. Nada).

And here’s how The New York Times (aka Pravda) reported it:

Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.

(Yep. That’s right. It has only apparently caused a stir among ’skeptics’. Everyone else can rest easy. Nothing to see here.)



And here’s how the Guardian has reported it:

Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world’s leading climate scientists during the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online, it emerged today.

The computer files were apparently accessed earlier this week from servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, a world-renowned centre focused on the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change.

(Oh. I get it. It’s just a routine data-theft story, not a scandal. And a chance to remind us of the CRU’s integrity and respectability. And – see below – to get in a snarky, ‘let’s have a dig at the deniers’ quote from Greenpeace).

A spokesman for Greenpeace said: “If you looked through any organisation’s emails from the last 10 years you’d find something that would raise a few eyebrows. Contrary to what the sceptics claim, the Royal Society, the US National Academy of Sciences, Nasa and the world’s leading atmospheric scientists are not the agents of a clandestine global movement against the truth. This stuff might drive some web traffic, but so does David Icke.”


From the crows nest Reply:
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:48 pm

I’ve taken some time to read through these and I will continue today.

The emails divulge that these scientist are manipulating data, helping each other by instigating legal proceedings against anyone who disagrees with them all, calls into question the research.
It seems they gang up on scientists who don’t show the same beliefs, a fundamental flaw in any scientist is letting your own ideas jade your results.

I will say this, its very odd to me that this has not received more MSM attention as it is quite damning to read these emails, and reveals a rather childish side to many of these people.

The sad pathetic joke that is the BBC :



Climategate: BBC website still thinks it's a story about computer hacking


By Damian Thompson Politics Last updated: November 24th, 2009

Climategate: BBC website still thinks it’s a story about computer hacking – Telegraph Blogs

Gerald Warner has just posted about the BBC’s wobble on Climategate: Newsnight reported on the scandal in a relatively even-handed manner. But, as I write, the BBC website is still offering only this:

UK climate unit’s e-mails hacked

The e-mail system of one of the world’s leading climate research units has been breached by hackers.

E-mails reportedly from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU), including personal exchanges, appeared on the internet on Thursday.

A university spokesman confirmed the email system had been hacked and that information was taken and published without permission.

An investigation was underway and the police had been informed, he added.

“We are aware that information from a server used for research information in one area of the university has been made available on public websites,” the spokesman stated.

“Because of the volume of this information we cannot currently confirm that all of this material is genuine.

“This information has been obtained and published without our permission and we took immediate action to remove the server in question from operation.

“We are undertaking a thorough internal investigation and we have involved the police in this enquiry.”

Which is a bit like reporting another scandal as:

Watergate: ‘loose latches’ blamed

Security problems persist at a building complex in Foggy Bottom, Washington DC, following a burglary that reportedly caused the resignation of a leading political figure last night.

Watergate senior janitor Herb D Kowalski is calling for a thorough review of window latches, which he says are still “way too loose” two years after the burglary.

“I hear tell that politicians have gotten involved and that old Tricky Dick got fired,” he said.

“But that’s hardly the main issue, which is that those window latches are a disgrace. I said so when they put ‘em in, but did anyone listen?”

Actually, to be fair, the BBC website accidentally published a story a couple of months ago about the end of global warming. Thank goodness it was vigilant this time, eh?

The SMH can’t even see the column, let alone the scandal
Andrew Bolt – Saturday, November 28, 09 (05:59 pm)

British warming crusader George Monbiot has written two recent columns on denialism.

The first, three weeks ago, castigated the alleged denialism of sceptics:

There is no point in denying it: we’re losing. Climate change denial is spreading like a contagious disease. It exists in a sphere which cannot be reached by evidence or reasoned argument; any attempt to draw attention to scientific findings is greeted with furious invective. This sphere is expanding with astonishing speed.

The second, just three days ago, castigated the alleged denialism of Monbiot’s fellow warmists:

I have seldom felt so alone. Confronted with crisis, most of the environmentalists I know have gone into denial. The emails hacked from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, they say, are a storm in a tea cup, no big deal, exaggerated out of all recognition. It is true that climate change deniers have made wild claims which the material can’t possibly support (the end of global warming, the death of climate science). But it is also true that the emails are very damaging.

So which of those two columns do you think the Sydney Morning Herald chose to run today - the dated one attacking sceptics (again) or the new one attacking the warmists now refusing to confront the greatest scientific scandal of their faith?

This is not just denial but deceit. Monbiot is made to seem as if he’s reacting to the revolt of the Liberal sceptics against their warmist leader, when in fact that revolt was driven in (small) part by the very scandal that he accepts is genuine.

UPDATE

The mainstream media - with a handful of (conservative) exceptions - do not know what terrible damage they are doing to their credibility by ignoring or drastically downplaying the Climategate scandal. The story is out, a couple of million times over, on the Internet.

What do you think the people reading of this scandal there conclude when they then turn to, say, The Age or the ABC, and find there barely a word of coverage?

I’ll tell you: they’ll conclude that the media cannot be trusted to tell even the news, let alone the truth, when it conflicts with their agenda. Hear that from the ABC’s Melbourne talkback host Jon Faine himself when he explained why he would not even discuss the emails:

That was my assessment of whether this was actually of any significance or not, and I decided that it wasn’t and we wouldn’t spend time on it. It suits the conspiracy theorists beautifully…

The other thing these readers will conclude is that for news involving certain ideologies, they must of necessity turn to the Internet, and in particular to certain blogs they trust to speak freely. For all those in the ABC and Age who deplore the influence of my blog, my sincere thanks for your part this week in making it more essential reading than ever.

Fools. You cut your own throats.
