Remember the good old days when people used to make jokes comparing the New York Times to Pravda, and it was considered an insult to the New York Times? Now, the publishers of The Pentagon Papers have suddenly decided that the publics right to know does not extend to things that damage the editorial pages political stance.
During the Bush Administration, it was Pulitzer material to expose anti-terrorism methods and operations including:
The Terrorist Surveillance Program How we tracked terrorist financing Exposing secret terrorist holding facilities in allied countries Exaggerated accounts of terrorist interrogation But when it comes to the hundreds of emails exposing the scientists who are manufacturing fraudulent data that is being used to seize control of the U.S.and worldeconomy in the name of global warming, the New York Times is suddenly queasy about exposing documents that were never intended for the public eye. The last time they kept a secret this well, was when Stalin was starving millions of Ukrainians to death.
But the New York Times is not alone. Despite stories on every network that Barack Obama is going to Copenhagen to advocate for a climate change treaty, NONE of them have reported on this storynot even to try to refute it.
In this upside down world, the best public debate on Climategate broadcast anywhere other than Fox News, is on something called Russia Today. Alice, please check in, Wonderland is calling.
Of course the media has also protected us from other news stories that might just confuse us and take us off the Obama storyline:

Excellent!
Thanks!
This administration is involved in so many scandals and so much corruption, it’s just a matter of time before the MSM can’t ignore it any longer. In the meantime...... a couple of grifters made their way into the tent. That’s the big story, don’t you know.
Don’t forget the domestic with a golf club.....
Too many Americans have the attention span of a gnat and no interest or energy to seek the truth. We are a society of babies when it comes to the news and for too long we have accepted the MSM bottle. Things are turning around (see MSM financial woes and explosion of news on the internet) but it may be too late to save our Republic.
Sigh. Once again (57th time?) I merely suggest...
Please read my tagline. Again the TIMES makes MY suggested masthead look brilliant. Thanks for nothing.
Maybe you need a bigger font.
“a couple of grifters made their way into the tent.”
The tent was already loaded with grifters-nobody’s going to notice a couple more!/s;)
Anyhow, the MSM is bad enough when it comes to REAL science-they certainly can’t tell it from the junk variety!

"...ehhhh.....heh, heh...I...hadn't heard about this story....heh, heh.....heh..."
You’re really surprised by this? They “buried” the ACORN story until the tapes got released and even then it was a one-sided, “meanie conservatives on a witch hunt” mantra.
Just let it fester like a gaping wound and let gravity do the rest.
