No need for me to leave out the other two media objects of my
occasional denunciation in the Climategate story.
George Soros's organizational daughter-in-law,
Washington Post reporter
Juliet Eilperin, apparently was instructed by her editor to
come up with copy superficially sufficient to fill a 472-word
space on page A14.
No need for me to leave out the other two media objects of my

Climategate story.
George Soros's organizational daughter-in-law,
Washington Post reporter
Juliet Eilperin, apparently was instructed by her editor to
come up with copy superficially sufficient to fill a 472-word
space on page A14. Of course she
obliged, tapping out a crime story while barely addressing
the substance of what was discovered. She even read the statement
from the Climate Research Unit confirming authenticity of the
records, made at least four phone calls, and included the sexy
part about the alarmists wanting to beat up Pat Michaels (Look
at that
face -- you wanna mess with him?!)!
Not bad, I guess, for a getaway Friday -- but points deducted,
Juliet, for accepting at face value the CRU/alarmist assumption
that it was a hack job. Very well could have been an insider with
a conscience.
As for my other target, I decided to visit the Web site of the
Society
of Environmental Journalists to see what, if any, buzz might
be going on there (despite it being a usually quiet Saturday). It
was quiet, but they do have a news aggregator with
continual feeds from other news organizations. I found the
following headlines among the most recent (which include Saturday
stories):
- Hidden threat: Elevated pollution levels near regional
airports
- Today's Arctic Circle Comic Strip
- Michigan recycling rates drop
- Children starve in parched southern Madagascar
- As nuclear reactor fleet ages, engineers ask,' is 80 the new
40?'
- Tree-eating bugs threaten Monarch butterfly in Mexico
No sign of climate research units, emails, scientist tricks,
hackers, or East Anglia. Maybe Monday!
