NONE ARE AS BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE. Ann Althouse takes a 2x4 to the New York Times for its Climategate apologia:

Why isn't the NYT on fire trying to figure everything out and helping us readers see into the controversy? The best we can do is to give our readers a sense of what the prevailing scientific view is... Really? That's the best you can do? Just a "sense" of what "prevails" among scientists? Then the best you can do is to be part of the very problem you ought to be studying: The scientists' efforts to create an impression of consensus.

Ouch!
