I guess I will end my boycott of ABC. Investigative reporting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was a thing of the past when they got rid of Dan Rather, and all the media is working so hard to imitate phoney Fox propaganda network.

Good job! Keep up the muckraking to maintain your credibility as journalists. As the DOJ situation unravels, it confirms that many of the WH staffers and political appointees at the various departments and agencies are planted political activists, educated at right wing fundamentalist colleges & institutions, with political and fundamentalist missions and hidden agendas.

Now that you nailed the Bush
propaganda effort see if your report gets on mainstream TV news
programs. It's bad enough that the
Bush Junta suppresses the facts
but it's even worse when the
corporate suits in the news divisions do the same instead of
exposing the facts.

Three words: "Impeachment and Removal."

ITS OBVIOUS WHY THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD REFUTE THE TRUTH ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING, BECAUSE ITS THE BIG COMPANIES WHO ARE DOING THE MOST DAMAGE IN REGARDS TO THE GREEN HOUSE AFFECT THAT BUSH AND HIS ADMIN BUDDIES HAVE THE BIGGEST INVESTMENTS WITH. AND FOR THEM TO MAKE LAWS REDUCING THE GREEN HOUSE GAS EFFECTS FROM THE OIL INDUSTRY GM, OTHER DEALERSHIPS, THEY WOULD LOSE ! BUT WHO CARES THERE STINKING RICH I DONT SEE WHY THEY FEEL TO BE EVEN MORE GREEDIER, HELL WHAT GOOD IS IT TO HORDE ALL THE MONEY IN SWINDILLING WE THE PEOPLE WHEN THIER FUTURE GENERATION AND OURS WONT BE AROUND MUCH LONGER TO SHARE IN THE MILLIONS THEY RAISED, O AND ABC U STAY ON THE STORY WE NEEDED THAT

ABC regurgitates the "non-profit" Government Accountability Project's report that "charges..." just in time for Dem hearings. Please.

Non-profit is one label the media trots out that is supposed to connote objective - yea right.

Interesting headline and lead paragraph. "Bush administration officials.... have engaged in....".

Jump to paragraph twelve. Report's author says there is no evidence of a single coordinated effort to block credible climate science.

This is "good reporting"? Compared to what? It's a sensationalist, misleading headline that is negated by the report's author himself. What BS.

Then of course, most wouldn't get that far. Too many are headline sound byte educated.

Small wonder that Congress and the media enjoy less "approval" ratings that the President himself.

Just go ahead and say it ABC,

George Bush, Big Oil, Big Business, and Republicans -

Hate the Earth.

No civil servant has any business talking to the press except and unless they are requested by the public affairs office or the policy makers in that agency and they are expected to reiterate the policy of the agency. That's the way it is in the Bush administration, the Clinton administration and every administration before that. The fact that ABC apparently cannot understand simple direct procedures like this which have been going on for decades is a clear indication that they are a bunch of dingalings who don't know diddley squat.

In terms of climate research there are facts, conclusions and beliefs. No one has blocked out facts by researchers and the problem is with the conclusions, beliefs and political behavior. In short, the earth is heated by the sun and CO2 traps heat and every body agrees on that and the appearance is that storms on the sun change cloud behavior which traps more heat than the earth gives up and reduces rain fall. Some scientists like Hansen at NASA believe the additional heat is caused only by CO2 and Hansen is a born again democrat who has attempted to use his beliefs to skewer the administration politically.

Cheney had his way again: just like he Lied to get the U.S. into Iraq, he has used his administrative levers to Lie about global warming.

But just as he has suffered a major failure in Iraq, he has also been a complete failure on holding back the facts on global warming.

Despite all of his efforts, the world has moved ahead despite the Administration. Not only have these guys not stopped the action to limit global warming pollution, they have lost all of their input into forming the actual policy.

Name one thing this administration HASN'T lied about!

My favorite thing about the dupes and useful idiots of the Washington press corps is in there traditional role as conduits for press releases by kook fringe leftist groups like the Government Accountability Project. Mr. Rood merely calls said group a "non-profit watchdog." Hahahahahahaha.

I saw this story a year or so ago. At that time, the actual reports were presented demonstrating the real text and then the edited texts in the reports. It was obvious even then how the asministration was changing the text to reflect doubt in the data or inject contradiction to it outright. This is appalling, like re-writing Darwin's theory on evolution to inject "Creationist" thought. We must purge the government with a total "ignorance cleansing".

And folks, it is reported 45% of global warming greenhouse gases are created by America's autos-AMERICA's autos. Whos's driving those??? Get out and ride a bike or walk, or take transit. YOU are creating the greenhouse gases, not "big oil". It is Americans who chose to drive big cars, longer distances even after the warnings in 1974 with the Arab Oil embargo, remember that? Kill your TV, kill your car.

YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE (ADMINISTRATION) WOULD PUT UNCONTROLLED GREED OVER SURVIVAL OF THE PLANET. THESE GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CHRISTIANS. THEY ARE GODLESS, GREEDY BARBARIANS - IMMERSED IN IGNORANCE AND ABYSMAL SELFISHNESS. BUSH AND CHENEY'S GRANDCHILDREN WILL DETEST AND HATE THEM.

Ho hum.

More innuendo.

Probably most of the suppressed reports deal with toxics and pollution in general -- not carbon based human caused global warming.

Goldman Sachs, the whole bunch, are financing this panic in order to push through carbon trading markets.

After reading all the comments posted, I have come to this conclusion. A lot of smart peiple have stated the obvious. Bush and his cromies get money from BIG OIL! Anyone who posted comments in favor of the BUSHIES, and, trying to debunk GLOBAL WARMING must be getting PAID OFF by the BUSHIES! I just follow the money!

This is one more item to be added to the record. From phone jamming, to the USA's firing everything can be tied together. Solution RICO investigations of the RNC.

1. Note: Justin Rood did not work for ABC at the start of the Iraq war.

2. "No civil servant has any business talking to the press except and unless they are requested by the public affairs office or the policy makers in that agency and they are expected to reiterate the policy of the agency."

Republican bull. There is only a gag order on these scientists to hide the truth from the American people. We paid for this information and it belongs to us. I guess next the faschistocapitalist will privatize knowledge itself.

What exactly is a "radical environmentalist", spoken with the same scathing, hate-filled words I hear ad infinitem on the web, the cable shows, and some newspapers. I never hear anyone say, here are the reasons I disagree with liberals or environmentalists. I think they pick up the talking points which are slogans they can understand and rely on them for responses to any and all situations. We truly have become a nation that is so dumbed down we can be led by an idiot and just keep moving along behind the crowd.

I hope to see reporting like this once the Dems take over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cough cough...
