Once again the drones make fools of themselves by regurgitating ThinkProgress propaganda.

Blog: Washington Post busted!

A Washington Post story purporting to expose the Koch brothers as behind-the-scenes beneficiaries of the Keystone Pipeline has been exposed as an utterly false propaganda operation, hilariously wrong and politically malicious. Even worse, one of the writers behind the story is married to a political operative in the left wing Koch-demonization machine.
Hinderaker’s work is thorough, grounded in fact, and devastating. I urge you to read the whole thing. Here is a small sample:

...an article by Steven Mufson and Juliet Eilperin headlined, “The biggest lease holder in Canada’s oil sands isn’t Exxon Mobil or Chevron. It’s the Koch brothers.” The article was based on a newly-issued two-page report by the far-left International Forum on Globalization. The Post reported:

You might expect the biggest lease owner in Canada’s oil sands, or tar sands, to be one of the international oil giants, like Exxon Mobil or Royal Dutch Shell. But that isn’t the case. The biggest lease holder in the northern Alberta oil sands is a subsidiary of Koch Industries, the privately-owned cornerstone of the fortune of conservative Koch brothers Charles and David.

Actually, nearly all of the tar sands leaseholders are smaller companies that you haven’t heard of–dozens, if not hundreds of them. Koch is not, in fact, the largest leaseholder​

The Washington Post was recently purchased by Jeff Bezos of Amazon, who ought to take a hard look at the reporters and editors who collaborated with the left wing smear machine, and while he is at it, should send a note of thanks to John Hinderaker, the blogger at Powerline, who exposed the rot in his new media operation.​

When can we expect the Washington Post, being the good, unbiased, determined investigative reporters they are, to start digging into the issue of who was the beneficiary of the IRS holding up evaluations of conservatives groups' applications for 501(c)(4) status while letting liberal groups applications sail through?

And when will they be looking into the question of why the guards at the consulate in Benghazi were reduced, and then reduced further, even as the Ambassador was sounding alarms and terrorists were blowing holes in the wall with IEDs, the summer before the fatal Sept. 2012 attacks?

It's good to see the Washington Post putting together investigative projects like this. I'm sure the subjects I mentioned, are right up at the top of the list, now that they don't need to investigate the Kock brothers any more.

Right?

Right.....

Man that's fucked up. If it has to do with hydrocarbons, the "press" will stop at nothing. Witness Gasland I and II.

The Market for agenda driven lying Liberal journalists is already saturated. Bezos is a Capitalist.

The kosh brothers have made their money because of oil. So they're profiting.
