Bazz,

The "climategate" emails (or portions thereof) were selectively chosen and purposely presented and misconstrued to demonise the scientists who have since been exonerated. That's down to the "free press" which not only has the wonderful benefit of liberty to print the truth - it also has the liberty to skew things to suit whichever agenda it is beholden to.

Wobbles said;
To have news items distorted or avoided to meet

I will give you an example of this;
Last week there was a Google forum that had the prime minister
answering questions.
There were I think six questions.
On the ABC that night there was an item about the forum.
They gave a snatch of each of the questions, except the one question
that she refused to answer, and yes !

It was the Bolt question.

Now there is an example of censorship by omission.

Poirot; no you are not well informed on those inquiries.
The parliamentary and the University inquiries avoided certain claims
made by Steve McIntyre and others.

You know the rule;
"Don't set up an inquiry unless you know the result !"

BM,

"Freedom of expression ... carries the responsibility to not make stuff up," No it doesn't

If you make things up as you do, then your credibility will be completely shot, as yours is. If your maxim held, no one could print what Labor says, as much of it contains distortions. Neither could one print anything on religion.

I see that once again you have failed to produce any evidence. I take your inability to provide a link to where contradicted myself as an admission of your deceit or incompetence.

Wiggle and waggle all you like 'shadow' but just because you say it doesn't make it so.

Except in your own mind, of course.

I remain amused, by Banjo and Bazz two I like.
And yes SM spin master that he is.
My minds eye flys to some future student, in about 30 years who comes here to OLO.
Sure it will be still about, by then Grey hair and beard Graham will be too.
Student is researching just what we thought about things, in the dark days of our worst Parliament.
Should that student read my words, be warned, SM will have you in fits of laughter!
Not because his words are funny, but his inability to see truth!
By then climate change will be proven, NBN upgraded to all radio.
And research will have gone much further in to why some conservatives have little ability to see truth.
LIE? mate you are a rude bloke you level that charge but know it is you not me you talk of.
I no Christian, take very wise words from that wise book, twist them but believe in them
*forgive him he knows not what he does*
