Heh: Fox Supports 'Cyber-Terrorism' By Reporting on ClimateGate

Short summary: This guy is hysterical.
No one in the mainstream media, it seems, has the guts to take on this scandal. This isn't some penny ante affair about graft or infidelity. This is a direct assault on our national values, on who we are as Americans. At one time, the criminal types who burglarized the Watergate or the office of Daniel Ellsberg's doctor were reviled.
Um, well, outside of Fox, nobody is reporting on it.
The scandal is Baier's relentless promotion of cyber-terrorism. Of course, he's not the only apologist for the criminals who hacked into servers at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. George Will, Lou Dobbs and Newt Gingrich have all lent their support to this broad-based campaign effort by Fox News to legitimize the work of criminals who lurk in the shadows. The criminals, who remain unidentified and still at large, stole confidential e-mails, selectively edited them, and disseminated them to promote the crackpot belief that the scientific case for global warming is not rock solid. There's no question that crooks feed off of the encouragement of on-air propagandists. Offices at Centre for Climate Modelling at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, have suffered at least two break-ins in recent months. In addition, there have been several attempts at hacking into the center's computer network.
Calm down, Dave. Maybe your husband can help you through this crisis.
