The Telegraph “gets it” about Climatgate investigations and the conflict of interest of publicly funded media | Watts Up With That?

Bottom line for the BBC: no matter what, when you are involved in promoting monetarily, in kind, or in any way, the same people and organizations you report on, you can’t have any separation from conflict of interest.

The The BBC has zero credibility left in all matters climate reporting related, in my opinion.

While I had suspicions before, after reviewing these two posts on “contract” and “expenses” for the Oxburgh report at CA, followed by Bishop Hill’s “When is a contract not a contract?“, I believe now that these investigations were complete whitewashes, bought and paid for. It is just that simple.

Speaking of glaring conflicts of interest, why aren't we hearing more about Reuters' blatant attempts to cash in on the global warming hoax?  Andy Revkin views himself as a heroic watchdog--why doesn't he write about this one?
