The story again avoids the term "Climategate" and successfully avoids giving its readers much useful information about the scandal itself.
The St. Petersburg Times ran a portion of a story from The New York Times.
The former version consists of four paragraphs and no byline. The gist of the scandal occurs in the third paragraph:
The e-mail exchanges among several U.S. and British scientists appear to reveal efforts to keep the work of skeptical scientists out of major journals and the possible hoarding and manipulation of data to overstate the case for human-caused climate change.That one paragraph is just about all one would know about the scandal by reading the Times.
The Pittsburg Post-Gazette published a lengthier version of the same story under John M. Broder's byline.
So who's more "In the Know" in this case?
