I guess we need to realize, though, that Climategate just isn’t newsworthy. I mean really, what’s the big deal? Scientists manipulating crucial data or suppressing dissenting views? C’mon, now. If you want to see something that does count, just think back several years when the New York Times provided daily, front-page coverage on the Augusta Country club’s refusal to admit lady golfers. Now THERE’S a story, don’t you think?

Its fixed. The word on the street is that some staff at Google are sympathetic to far left causes and are actively PR0ing (Page Rank 0) the dissenters of such causes and personalities regardless of whether or not they endorse domestic terrorism.

Unless those staffers are going to spend all day for the next couple of weeks in the office there’s no way for them to keep this down. That and now they would have to PR0 the people that could make some noise in the old media because, those people ARE the old media.
