Bad enough being called a Tea Party of the Left [View all]
and "fractivists" by the Denver Post, but as one of Boulder County's activists who has researched fracking I think being labeled a "maggot-infested, longhair hippie freak" and part of the "flat earth discussion group" by the Colorado Oil and Gas industry is a little over the top don't you?
We cannot hope for a respectful discussion regarding fracking and local control while the size of the ad spending by the industry is unprecedented in Colorado history. And while all our media as well as most of our legislators and governor have been bought and paid for by COGA. And we certainly can't hope for a fair vote on the initiatives in the fall.
The Denver Post, the Boulder Daily Camera, the Longmont Times-Call, the Coloradan, Colorado Springs Gazette are all owned by NewsMedia Group. The only independent papers in our area are the Boulder Weekly and Westword. I hope you will read the article by Joel Dyer, editor," Fracking activists are the Tea Party of the Left? Denver Post doing its part for the oil and gas industry's disinformation campaign" in the July 24-30 edition online.
And I hope you will protest to the TV channels running these sick ads. Thanks
