''Not only did the United Nations obstruct the free press this week, it also deliberately threw a roadblock in my company's ability to compete on an even playing field with other news agencies. Maybe that explains the silence from my colleagues – who are losing readers and viewers and advertisers daily...''
It's official!
The United Nations banned the news agency most critical of "man-made catastrophic climate" hysteria from coverage of the Copenhagen convention billed as a major leap forward for global governance. That new agency is my own, of course – WND.
You might think the banning of a news agency, any news agency, would evoke some coverage from colleagues.
Yet, to date, not one story about the censorship has appeared on Fox News, CNN, the New York Times, the Associated Press, ABC, NBC, CBS or any other major news outlet.
I shouldn't be surprised.
With few exceptions, the major press has not yet covered to any measurable degree the biggest development since Al Gore invented "global warming." (By the way, unlike the Internet, he really did invent "global warming" – to his everlasting shame, except in Nobel Prize circles.)
I refer, of course, to what has come to be known as "Climategate" – e-mails from pseudo-scientists at East Anglia University that reveal an effort to spin and even change real temperature data to fit the theory and obscure the facts.
The e-mails were a new discovery, but the lying and manipulation of data is hardly a recent occurrence. It goes back 10 years.
Now, of course, the pseudo-scientists can't even hide the data. Since global temperatures have actually been falling for several years running, there is little talk about "global warming" any longer. Now the alarmists talk only of "climate change."
