Three weeks late the NYT "reports" on ClimateGate

In pointing out that Climatologist Phil Jones, head of the CRU, East Anglia - an author of some of the most egregious ClimateGate emails has stepped down, the NYT decides it's time to pull back the curtain for a minor peak.

The e-mail exchanges among several prominent American and British climate-change 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.

This represents the closest thing to a fair description of the scandal we've yet seen from the Stone Wall Media. Give teh internet tubers credit for forcing the issue.
