#1 Missed, Hell! They've been part and parcel to the promotion of it and are now trying to ignore and cover up in hopes it will all go away.

#2 Thomas Jefferson once said, Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.

The mainstream old media is actively destroying our nation with their deliberate mal-informing of the public. They have become an enemy of the Republic and do violence to it with their deliberate acts of commission and omissions. They are no less a danger to this Republic than Al Qaeda, and should be treated as such, including punitive actions and their eventual destruction and replacement with a successor that is truly open and supportive of liberty.

Time for everyone to go after them INDIVIDUALLY with (metaphorical) pitchforks and torches. Bring *personal* accountability to them in their homes and with their families -- for they just as surely threaten ours with their collusion to mislead and destroy the nation.

Get their home addresses, phone numbers, etc - then write them letter, and call them to let them know we are holding them responsible personally for their failures. Sign your real name and do it in large numbers.

Yes it has come to that. Not firearms nor violence, but sharp words directed personally at the individuals in the presence of their families should suffice. Let them know they are no longer anonymous nor kept apart from those of us upon whom they believe they can impose their agenda.

Accountability and responsibility. They go hand in hand, and its up to us to impose the former if we allow them the latter.

#3 All major 'entertainment' corporations should be subject to FTC standards of truth in advertising. If a major corporation misrepresents their product or lies about it, it should be subject to significant fines and restrictions. Now, the out for these types of corporations is a clear and up front declaration that their 'product' is for entertainment purposes only and should not be construed to be factual and without bias.

#4 A search of NBC.com shows zero results for "climategate".

CBS.com and abc.com both have a few stories on it though.

#5 Agree. Either they stop their behavior, or come out and admit its entertainment.

Put a disclaimer in front of the "newscasts" that there may be omissions of facts and dramatizations of events for the purposes of entertainment or political posturing.

#6 The MSM have been socialised.

They are the opposite of the news, designed to cover up the truth.
