7. Most of the media has dismissed the fact that renowned climate scientists tried to prevent skeptics from obtaining/verifying their data.  They have ignored the evidence that there is doubt among climate scientists about some of the statistics that are supposed to prove the existence of man made global warming.  Many news reports attempt to excuse/explain away the questions that these emails raise. Do you think this indicates media bias? Explain your answer.
