NBC Sucks, Part CXLXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Okay, so that’s not a real Roman Numeral. Given, I only get two TV channels with my rabbit ears: Taxpayer funded PBS, which is really just the PR department for the liberal Democratic Party and which I never watch, and NBC, the Nothing But Crap network, that I only check out for the morning weather during the Today Show. Of course, what they consider news on their program and what we around here consider news are two very different things.
So far, the Today Show has not given a single second to ClimateGate, probably the biggest story this past week. The last few days, including this Sunday morning (8:14 am as I write this) they are spending all of their precious airtime reporting that a couple bozos crashed a White House dinner, and that Tiger Woods had an ‘effing fender-bender and NBC promises to explore that story ad nauseam with such startling reports such as how will having an ‘effing fender-bender affect his commercial endorsements and will his sex life be affected . . .
Because, you know, no one in this country has EVER had a fucking (Oops! Sorry!) car accident before. Therefore there must be some deep, dark, reason — other than alcohol, which has been ruled out — for his bumping into something. It certainly couldn’t be that at 2:30 in the morning he was tired. . . . Hey, that’s the big news, right?
Why on Earth should NBC spend any time reporting on the scientific fraud perpetuated by supposed scientists regarding so-called “global warming,” which — by the way — our Congress and President are planning to use the data of, to enact “Cap-and-Trade,” which will cost every single American a lot of money, will bankrupt many businesses, and increase taxes on all of us? And, if ClimateGate is true, those scenarios are completely unnecessary.
Aside from Lester Holt — the only real newsman on the Today Show — I could care less if the rest of the entire 7-day lot of them fell into a ditch.
There; I’ve ranted and I feel better.

Oh the irritation you put up with for a video glance of the weather. Is there no other better source for the weather than the television?
One might try out a technology called the radio that might just include weather notices.
Come on, you know that that NBC isn’t going to cover ClimateGate. I am surprised you are irritated over the omission.

The mainstream media is running/hiding from “ClimateGate” and refuses to acknowledge the importance of the revelations. I have been writting my local paper (Press of Atlantic City) daily about not covering this issue and received zero response. We can only hope that the info contained in the hacked emails from the CRU is brought to the Senate floor during debate over Cap & Trade.

I expect the e-mail comments about “hide the decline!” to become rallying cries on the Republican side when/if the cap-and-trade debates ever move forward. Hopefully, they will not.

I’m not suprised about the MSM:
Hitler gave state stipends to the priests, so if any failed to tow the party line, they lost their pay - it isn’t much different for today’s MSM.
While some bloggers and their commentors have been giving the lead in this affair, and many other bloggers (like you Jeff) have been doing an excellent joob in raising awareness, I have to say I am disappointed with some of the bloggers.
Perhaps they think their carbon ration coupons will cover the trip to a gunbloggers rendezvous, and enough cartridges, targets and gas to keep their trips to the range going?
Or are they like the devoutly religious who pray for victory, while their more secular bretheren go fight the battles?
I don’t know, perhaps they just have enough shares in the future equivelent of I.G. Faben, sorry, I meant carbon trading….
OK my rant is Almost over
