I also have wondered why foreign news sources seemed to have details that NEVER surfaced in the American outlets, at least since the Shrub took office. But hey, Jesus knows best, right?

Outsiders, that is people from the rest of the world, wonder why you can not see what is happening in the world today. On British TV some 18 months ago a programme contrasted information we and other countries were given about global warming what what the US people were shown. Back then we were told how the US government censored what could and could not be shown.

Not only that but we get CNN and wonder why a news item is not covered or sometimes more worrieing why CNN say the complete oppersit of what we have been told. I am sorry if it has come as a bit of a shock about the science issues but it goes a lot deeper.

Forget whether someone will misunderstand; what about the free speech you are always going on about. Dont you have a constitution thingy !!

“It seems to me that if they were interested in scientific correctness they would be reviewing all information that gets published, not just the stuff that is highly visible or politically sensitive.”

They do. They can’t release a paper for review outside the USGS until they review it internally. Right royal pain in the schedule for non-USGS co-authors, but it does cut down on the oopses that make it into print.

I can’t really tell if the substance of the requirements is “Let us know before you sic the press dogs on us” or “You can’t say that!”

Sticks: Since I’m one of those who “pay the piper”, as in a taxpayer, I demand impartial science reporting. Dammit, it’s my taxpayers right to know the uncensored research.

Science Is Taking Another Beating…

Science is taking another beating at the hands of the George Orwell Bush Administration. Scientists who are studying both natural and human effects on global climate change are now without several huge repositories of historical and current data on th…

How the BBC is reporting this I am surprised that your are forgetting the old proverb "He who pays the piper calles the tune"
