There's nothing new about silencing journalists that aren't with The Program.

A Michael Moore from the other side of the spectrum. Big deal.

Important only is what the professor on the podium said.

"I don't comment on reducted emails presented to me by people whose values I don't trust. I would need to see the whole thing. (...) What I can say is that private communications that people have between each other, are no public documents."

That is not to hide some sensational revelations about the wickedness of cimate scientists. It is to point out that people are more relaxed and speak with a loser tongue in private when being amongst friends of colleagues, than they do when being official about their work. I myself for exmaple have said several times in my life that I would like to kill that certain person. If you would take me literal, you better jail me now.

So far I have not read or heared anything showing me that these emails are anything else than being taken out of context, being edited, misquoted, and specific jargon - or better: ordinary, contemporary language! - intentionally being ignored in order to give the "issue" a twist and fabricate a "scandal" by blowing it up in size and hammering it into people's minds by repeating it to them time and again. It is not about argument. It is about being louder than the other side.

BTW, that film made by the guy has been shreddered by academic critics, I read. No wonder that it is popular with sceptics. I even saw one reference claiming that science was discriminating the man by showing out the scientific flaws in its claims and assumptions. scientific results, or truth - being discrimination? reminds me of the EU's criminalisation of criticising Islam.

It was a reasonable response by Sky, until.....

...so why does he feel the need to bring his pet phobia into a topic on climate?
And why does he feel the need to repeatedly tell the same lie when its already easily shown to be a lie?

Quote:
The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at then-President George W. Bush in Baghdad last year had a taste of his own medicine Tuesday when he nearly got beaned by a shoe thrower at a news conference in Paris. Muntadhar al-Zeidi ducked and the shoe hit a wall. "He stole my technique," Al-Zeidi later quipped. The identity of the new shoe thrower and his motivation were not immediately clear, but he appeared to be an Iraqi. Al-Zeidi's brother, Maithan, chased the attacker and -- what else? -- pelted him with a shoe as he left the room.
