Bazz,
You prove my point 'one of their own' that is polarized nonsense which is the problem with the media read the site I posted above carefully there is a clear statement of why there are differences and that all is above board the data the programm source code the lot hardly a conspiritorial issue.
Also note regardless of 'side' a scientist is from they face the same scrutiny. I also note that the audience wasn't there to listen to a discussion of the merits of AGW. that turkey just didn't get the message.

Examinor,
You missed the point, their rejection was not because they
were not there to discuss AGW, it was because they did not believe the
statement that "There has been no significant warming since 1995".

They did not either listen to who it was who made the statement
originally or they did not know, or care who Phil Jones was.

The whole thing is a mess and I think the UK met office has the right
idea, draw a line under it and start again.

You’re way too negative Examinator . Yes of course the media is a fickle lover , but you’ve got to admit the relationship was good while it lasted !

Remember the good times you had together. Like when the papers printed the predictions of scientists affiliated with the IPCC that the reef would soon disappear ,and had everyone scurrying for tickets .Or,the time Peter Garret held a room full of cadet reporters starry eyed while he talked of a six metre sea rises. Or,the greatest media heist of all, when the IPCC sexed up its reports with talk that the Himalayan glaciers would melt within 35 years , and generate millions of refugees.( that had both the media and people smugglers attention!)

Think of how many school news & current affairs sessions such reports featured in –all those impressible young minds, hearing nothing but AGW propaganda.

Think of those thousands of electors conned with talk of Kyoto and good world citizenship into voting for Rudd-labour, believing they were saving the world and ushering in a new green millennium. (the only ones who still believe that are Rudd... & Belly!)

Ok so now the cosy relationship has ended –but you’ve kept you honour intact -- what little of it you had. The only one who got shafted in the end was the Australian electorate.

examinator, if you’re not happy with the MSM, try the US Senate Report into the CRU. Hot off the press so to speak.

Oh please spindoc, that US Senate (Minority) Report into the CRU (hot off the press).

I assume you know the background of Senator Inhofe - you are spinning it just like he does, as usual.

Yes, there is a concerted effort to thwart action on tackling the problems of climate change. This, as you have obviously noted, is becoming increasingly shrill in the main stream media.

A number of examples come to mind, not only here in Oz (Bolt, Akerman, Devine and Co) but also from the far right-wing journos in the US and the UK.

Linked are 2 responses to the Guardian’s straight-shootin Fred Pearce, another spindoctor of the facts:

I think it despicable that supposedly ‘open-minded’ journalists spruik their own biased “opinions” in the name of balanced reporting.

Sure, if they have a problem understanding the science, ask the questions. But they don’t, they sow the seeds of doubt and confusion by deliberately distorting and misrepresenting the science, as the reports within the above links demonstrate.
