We are going to be suppressed by the mainstream media II

The Heartland Institute’s “2009 International Conference on Climate Change” is now in progress, and my poll for predicting the ‘conference’ take-home message has just closed — thanks to everyone who voted!
Meanwhile, the Galileo-like findings of the global warming ’skeptics’ continue to be ruthlessly suppressed by the mainstream media as evidenced by, um, the following news articles and op-eds:
- The Grauniad starts by describing the conference attendees as “climate change deniers”, devotes about half of the space about climate activists saying mean things about the conference, and concludes with a description of another conference held to specifically study climate change denial. Fascists!!!
- The New Ork Times’s Andrew Revkin hints — very subtly — that many of the ’skeptic’ arguments are mutually contradictory, but otherwise doesn’t say anything bad about conference. Inquisitors!!!
- The Torygraph gives Christopher Booker an opinion column to whine about how the “climate change lobby” is treating him and his fellow inactivists in mean ways. Bureaucrats!!!
Also, DeSmogBlog has a video.

Erm, the NY Times link is broken – both links take me to a Webcite of the same Javascript file…?

[...] Brian D reminds me of a point that I meant to make, which is it looks like FrankBi’s “Heartland take home message” poll correctly predicted that it would be “Fire Hansen now.” (I got it right [...]
