So... did anyone in the US news ever even bother to cover this?

I'm guessing no.

There have been a couple of articles out of North America on this, but the majority seem to be journalists who are in full spin mode to protect the scientists involved.

Yeah, that's about what i figured.  (And predicted.)

More money in keeping things at the status quo.

The interesting thing about this (to me) is this approach seems to be back-firing ,,,

While I could be wrong, there seems to be a lot of anger towards news organizations who haven't covered this yet or who are defending the scientists; and several "Pro-Global Warming" articles I saw today ended up having comments disabled after (roughly) 90% of comments posted were amazingly critical of the reporters.

From personal experience I know of a handful of people who I have argued with about Global Warming in the past who are now far more doubtful of the science because these scientists are not being made an example of. After all, the approach most hard-sciences would take towards someone faking results would be to discredit them to preserve the integrity of the field.
