Can we trust the media?

Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries took the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. They are calling for “social justice” (in my opinion this will lead to draconian laws dictating lifestyle changes that will cost trillions and potentially divert food from millions):

Social justice demands that the industrialised world digs deep into its pockets and pledges cash to help poorer countries adapt to climate change, and clean technologies to enable them to grow economically without growing their emissions. The architecture of a future treaty must also be pinned down — with rigorous multilateral monitoring, fair rewards for protecting forests, and the credible assessment of “exported emissions” so that the burden can eventually be more equitably shared between those who produce polluting products and those who consume them. And fairness requires that the burden placed on individual developed countries should take into account their ability to bear it; for instance newer EU members, often much poorer than “old Europe”, must not suffer more than their richer partners.

Did those same 56 papers consider the ramifications of ClimateGate? Have they given equal press to articles such as this? What data formed the basis for their call to action? Was it that of the IPCC?
