Deleting correspondence and "losing" raw data is viewed as blatant by some.
I'm not sure a lot of people realize that the CRU isn't the group that actually holds the raw data. CRU deleted their copies of the raw data because in the 1980's they didn't have very good data storage options.
Weather services hold the original data. If the skeptics were really intent on checking the data rather than just throwing up smoke, they'd have done so by now.
Of course, it's probably a wasted effort because the temperature records from the CRU match those of other groups.
Climategate has been thoroughly debunked, but facts just don't matter to the right-wing, and the so-called liberal media doesn't bother because controversy sells, and non-controversy...doesn't.
