Line 1: + − − ==Unreported== − Perhaps the [[MSM]] felt that by ignoring Climategate entirely that it would have just gone away. However, just as the case was during the [[Tea Party Movement]], notably during the [[Tax Day Tea Party]], [[blog|bloggers]] and the readers of the global warming stories kept bringing up [[An Inconvenient Truth|the inconvenient truth]] of Climategate by mentioning the scandal "over and over and over again."<ref>P.J.

However, in-line with some search-engines odd display of confusion as to what the search query for "Climategate" is asking for, CBS evening news called the scandal "Climate Gate," a reference to the name [[Google]] suggested to searchers as a spin on the real name, "Climategate."

The '''Climategate media coverage''' refers to the [[Journalism|journalistic]] methods used by the the [[Mainstream media]] to deceive the public from learning more specific details about the [[Climategate]] scandal, and the [[censorship]] practices used by various sources for information both [[United States|nationally]] and world wide. As details emerged from the scandal—the revealed data, e-mails and manipulated code sets—Climategate media coverage in the news was dismal, particularly from the Mainstream media, but also assisted by the liberal [[Wikipedia]], which tried to hide the story by calling it the "Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident."<ref>Allie Duzett. [http://www.aim.org/aim-column/media-ignore-climate-science-scandal/ Media Ignore Climate Science Scandal], [[Accuracy In Media]], November 23, 2009.</ref> As details emerged from the [[Climategate]] scandal, Climatic Research Unit (CRU) scientists at the University of East Anglia were exposed, but the [[Liberal media|liberal media]] attempted to bury the story and discount it as the work of computer hackers illegally stealing data. Climategate media coverage was a profoundly bizarre situation, and it showed just how [[bias]] the liberal media has become in order to advance their environmental agenda, all of which are problems that have been uncovered from the Climategate scandal.
