The Boston Globe Hides The Decline, Readers Find It Anyhow

November 24, 2009 - 7:12 pm - by Ed Driscoll

Doug Ross notes that when it comes to goreball worming, the Boston Globe’s readers are more than a few steps ahead of its writers:

As Doug writes, “Pity these nearly bankrupt lard-asses can’t bother to surf the inter-tubes like their readers. Some of the comments are priceless.” Click over to his site to read them.

Meanwhile, Newsbusters’ P.J. Gladnick spots a similar incident at the Houston Chronicle: “Climategate: MSM Writers Try to Ignore Scandal in Global Warming Stories But Readers Bring Them Back to Reality.”

And look whose name has entered into ClimateGate, Climaquiddick, or whatever you’d like to call it:

Lift up a rock and another snake comes slithering out from the ongoing University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) scandal, now riding as   “Climategate”.

Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal.  In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms “a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people”.

Gee, does this mean Holdren likely won’t soon be launching rockets full of pollution into the upper atmosphere to stop the Phantom Menace?

    The 2001 reference at Newsbusters is hilarious.

    Obviously, all of this “ClimateGate” stuff will be ignored by the White House …

    Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal. In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holden is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms “a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people”.

    The name, John Holdren (Obama’s Science Czar) shows up in 6 of the e-mail streams. Five are merely cc:-s from the same e-mail stream, but one to Michael Mann is from Holdren where he pokes fun at his “Harvard” colleagues Soon and Baliunas (1066337021).
    One of cc-s also includes, Rosina Bierbaum, who is on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). PCAST consists of 20 of the nation’s leading scientists and engineers.

    Mark Steyn calls it “Warmergate.”

    And the hotter it gets for all those con artists and their MSM cheerleaders the better!
