NPR rewards fossil fuel donors
Nov. 10, 2015
Just heard a piece on NPR about with interviews with some people losing jobs or potential jobs because of President Obama's rejection of the Keystone pipeline. At the end, NPR said that environmentalists were happy about the decision. I think they mentioned global warming, but no mention of how that is hurting us, and will do so even more in the future. They surely know enough about influencing people to know they were influencing some people to see "environmentalists" in a bad light.
If we were maintaining our infrastructure, like bridges & roads, we would have jobs for them.
Allowing a project like this that helps endanger our future because it would create jobs makes as much sense as arguing for allowing sales of defective automobiles that cause death, heroin sales, murder for hire, etc. to save jobs.
I have never heard NPR having interviews with people who lost jobs when plants were closed down because of food poisoning, etc. Besides the people who work at these companies, think of all the extra business doctors were getting!
