Big three networks ignore Climategate email scandal
Here is a shocker – The big three television networks are ignoring a story that doesn’t fit their leftist agenda. It has been two weeks now since more than a thousand emails from the world’s top climate scientists were released on the Internet. Since then, the emails seem to indicate the scientists colluded together to modify and falsify data, withold climate data, prevent publication of dissenting information and much more.
Despite the fact Climategate is a huge story, ABC, CBS and NBC have failed to do one story on the event on either their morning or their evening broadcasts. As the Climate Change Examiner writes:
The story has all the makings of a big news story and a world class whodunit. An illegal break in leads to charges of a global conspiracy. Some of the world’s leading experts tackling one of the most pressing issues of our day and age are forced to launch a defense of themselves. Two experts fall under the specter of investigations, Congress holds hearings into the affair, the Internet is set afire by one phrase – Climategate.
For two weeks the story rages and grows in intensity and yet somehow, the big three television networks are missing in action. Whether the story is just smoke or if there is fire behind it, the hacking of one of the world’s major climate research centers and the fallout from it is big news. By ignoring the story, ABC, CBS and NBC are highlighting the failures of themselves and much of the mainstream media. Perhaps more importantly they are contributing to their own demise and irrelevance.
Since the Climategate story broke two weeks ago today on November 20th, the story has been covered by all cable news networks including FOX News and CNN. Through it all, the big three are nowhere to be found. Not one mention of the event has been made on the networks’ morning or evening news broadcasts.

The big three long ago lost their importance and it is seen in their ratings. They simply don’t matter anymore.
