So the New York Times won’t report the news.

What’s new?

The same paper that sat on the John Edwards scandal for nine months in 2008-09–until Edwards gave his okay for the Times to let their readers in on the news by confessing–wants to keep their readers in the dark again. This time on ClimateGate.

The latest Times’ culprit?

Environmental reporter Andrew Revkin, who acts like a global warming political hack.

Brent Bozell call him on it in When the Press Favors Secrecy:

The e-mails prove just how dishonest this left-wing global warming agenda truly is. And now suddenly, The New York Times has found religion and won’t publish these private e-mails. Environmental reporter Andrew Revkin, who’s more global warming lobbyist than reporter, quoted — sparsely — from the e-mails, but declared he would not post these texts on his “Dot Earth” blog on the Times website: “The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.”

That rule didn’t apply to things like the disclosure of the SWIFT global bank monitoring program against terrorists.

Unlike our secret terror-fighting efforts, there is no grave matter of national security to protect here. There is only a danger of shredding the undeserved reputation of some global-warming alarmists as nonpartisan, nonideological, just-the-facts scientists with no preconceived environmentalist or statist agenda.

Next time Revkin wants readers’ trust for something he writes, remember how he covered for his buddies in the Global Warming Scam community.

Revkin could’ve been a reporter. Instead, he chose to hide facts from his readers instead of report them.

To some, that would seem make him a hack.
