The lead scientist in the global warming scandal, Dr. Phil Jones, has just agreed to step down, pending an investigation by the University of East Anglia. Nothing can be done to spin this as a good development for those arguing that the recent email disclosures are irrelevant or trivial.
Will this rouse the mainstream media to admit there is something major here that is worth covering in full?
The story is like so many others recently where news develops on the Internet and is carefully avoided by the New York Times, the AP, et al, until they are all shown to be far behind the curve on something important. Do you think such mistakes may have something to do with declining public support for the MSM?
The key reason such stories are late arrivals in news rooms of liberal media is that they embarrass the ideological party line. That's just about all there is to it.
