Mainstream media don't know Big Green has deeper pockets than Big Oil | WashingtonExaminer.com
The "Kill Keystone XL" crowd isn't little David up against a Big Oil Goliath.
As usual, conventional wisdom isn't wisdom when the mainstream media ask all the wrong questions with commensurate answers.
Behemoth Big Green outstrips Big Oil in expendable revenue by orders of magnitude — if you know how to follow the money.
The mainstream media don't know how.
Like most liberals, their staffs are afflicted with what 20th century futurist Herman Kahn called “Educated Incapacity” — the learned inability to understand or even perceive a problem, much less a solution.
They’ve been taught to be blind, unable to see Big Green as having more disposable money than Big Oil, so they don’t look into it.
They would never discover that the American Petroleum Institute’s IRS Form 990 for the most recent year showed $237.9 million in assets while the Natural Resources Defense Council reported $241.8 million.
Nor would they discover who started the anti-Keystone campaign in the first place.
It was the $789 million Rockefeller Brothers Fund (established in 1940).
