Climate Researchers Feeling Heat From White House

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-up-there-and-talk-science-boy dept.

Jeff K writes "Facts and science collide with tribal loyalties, the Washington Post reports: 'Scientists doing climate research for the federal government say the Bush administration has made it hard for them to speak forthrightly to the public about global warming. The result, the researchers say, is a danger that Americans are not getting the full story on how the climate is changing.'"

    I find it absolutely astonishing to see the extent that the US media is regulated by the government.

    And still to this day I hear USanians go on about their freedom of speech, apparently believing that the rest of us live in stalinist soviet.

    It seems to me that the truth is that the US freedom of speech is one of those lies where if you repeat it often and loud enough, people believe in it.

    While in reality USA under Bush looks more and more like a totalitarian Orwell nightmare.

    Im not trying to trawl for a fight here, Im trying to convey how things look like from where I am standing. It would benefit the entire world if the all of the nice people of USA got a chance to see the world from outside their propaganda media. We like you, its your regime that makes us queasy.
