- 1st documents are published on Green Activist websites with a press release full of loaded words
This is how the normally smart Phil Plait introduced his readers to the story
Perfidious means "Deceitful and untrustworthy." - negative words
- "leaker" - Why does he use that word when he come have used a more neutral wording like "documents have come to light" ?
Surely this is a confirmation bias : by saying the documents have been leaked that tells us 2 things : That they are real & legally obtained.
That's quite different from the way he talks about the Climategate emails as being "hacked" or "stolen"
- with the "The hyp hyp hypocrisy", he is setting the frame for the story
- It tells us : he expects Heartland to really really pursue the of the documents & show them to be hypocrites cos they didn't shout about the person who released the Climategate emails. But that's not the story that's speculation about something that hasn't happened.
- and of course he was proved wrong as they do pursue the person who released them Peter Gleick.
- see how the first commenter says "why's it not in the media yet?"
- see how the second commenter says "are they all true?" - thank God Someone knows not to take things at face value
