Blogs v. The Legacy Media
November 29, 2009 · By Martin Street
Occasionally the question comes up as to why I get my news from blogs instead of conventional big media news sources. Blogs are written by amateurs, they’re full of unsourced opinions, they’re poorly edited. Journalists writing for the legacy media are trained professionals following relatively strict codes of conduct, with layers of editing and access to vast amounts of well-sourced information. All true.
For an up-to-the-minute example of why blogs are superior to, for example, big newspapers, look no further than one of the least reputable of my favourite American blogs, Ace of Spades HQ: ClimateGate gets real legs – London Times reports on CRU’s thrown away raw data:
Their data ditching is actually old, high profile coverage of it and its implications, not so old.
Exactly my point. I read about the data loss weeks before the CRU email scandal broke. People relying on the London Times are only reading about this today.
Deleting the data is one one aspect of the mess. The raw data itself is a joke , even before it was “massaged” by the CRU
… see for yourself.
Here is a site that maintains a photo database of many of the US temperature monitoring sites which the IPCC have used as gospel. Most are a complete joke … you will see when you look at many of the photos.
