Every single pundit that goes on t.v. should respond to every question with Climategate. They should confront Matthews, Olberfist, The Dirty Sanchez, Chubby Couric, Wolf Blitzed, George Snuffaluffagous and all the rest of them. Just keep bringing it up, regardless of the subject of the question, and force them to stumble and bumble. The few viewers that they have will call up and ask what the heck is Climategate and why won’t they report about it.

The disgusting lame stream media is doing just what Obama wants them to, refusing to acknowledge anything that doesn’t fit the template. That is exactly why FOX News and talk radio has seen unprecedented ratings. These other so called news sources have absolutely no shame as it is, so don’t expect anything else from them. Something to be said for Americans getting better news info from the BBC and the CBC. ROCK ON FOX NEWS!

I want to know why the media won’t talk more about what a bunch of mindless, ret-arded idiots right wingers are. Please die.

Andrew, there is a blogger, who used to be fairly prominent (Little Green Footballs) who is accusing you of calling for James Hansen to be killed. Today, he is claiming that you sent him a long, angry “rant” as he puts it–but frankly, I think he’s lying. This man has gone completely crazy, but I don’t think you should ignore it–he gets a lot of attention for his pathetic hatefilled smears–and he has some link that has your name attached to this threat against Hansen. Please do something. I don’t believe for a moment he has sent you an e-mail–it has taken me about an hour looking–I didn’t try the facebook way because I’m not a member, but SOMEBODY, if you’re not looking Andrew, TELL Andrew about this accusation by Charles Johnson. It’s dangerous. Think Dan Rather.

This was excellent commentary considering the owner. It shows what ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NYT, etc., should all be doing as legitimate media. Unfortunately, they have lost all credibility in the case. They became promoters of global warming, instead of reporters and information gatherers. They have now become gatekeepers, keeping people uninformed about the scandals of bad science, deliberate and misleading scientist, and the oppression of other scientific opinions.

This is a sad day for science, for media, for truth.

Thanks Breitbart for covering all the information and showing other voices that should be heard in this debate. This commentator had very reasonable opinions on what should be done moving forward.

Get rid of the professional money makers, the lobbyist and people who exploit the science, mainly Al Gore. And get back to real investigative science, with legitimate models that produce accurate information. Models that chart successfully todays climate from the past. None of the IPCC models predicted the last 8-11 year cooling period. As a result, there is no way they can be trusted to predict anything in the future.

We all can cheer for clean energy, but we do not need a world treaty that hurts Americans and leaves China, India and third world nations off the list.

Mr. Murphy hit the nail on the head. As long as we have scientists prostituting themselves for government grants, we will never have scientific data we can trust.

Al Gore will go down in history as the biggest boob/joke mankind has ever known.

Paul…stick to music, don’t speak, you sound like a moron. Are you seriously telling us to sit down & shut up like a bunch of children who do not know what is best for us, we should just blindly trust what the “adults” are telling us? We shouldn’t ask questions or investigate, just trust what these “intellectuals” tell us & obey them like good little ignorant children?

Paul, go jump off a cliff. What is going to hurt our children & grandchildren is not climate change. What is going to hurt them is the loss of liberty, government gag hold on their lives, destruction of industry & the enormous debt we are putting them in in the name of climate change.
