A despotic government always keeps a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, invent and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day."

Here's their website's <a href="http://energytomorrow.com/advertisements.aspx" rel="nofollow">page</a> of TV ads. They're the ones with the slender blonde in the black pantsuit, telling us all that there are 9.2 million jobs in the oil and gas industry. The implication being, I guess, that we'd better keep drilling and if we stop there's another 9.2 million of our friends and neighbors out on the street.Linkmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576347754628145004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988729.post-23916278206468903292010-05-04T01:11:51.888-04:002010-05-04T01:11:51.888-04:00This brilliantly constructed post demonstrates how...This brilliantly constructed post demonstrates how certain points are best made through blogging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
