Media in cahoots with oil companies
Ever wonder why your favorite fringe presidential candidates are being ignored by your nightly news election coverage? According to the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement, Joseph Raglione, blame Big Oil corporations.
Raglione said, the only presidential candidates who refused to co-operate with Cap and Trade, are Mike Gravel and Ron Paul. They both believe in taxing the polluters directly. Mysteriously, both have been cut out of the corporate controlled media spotlight. Dun dun duunnnnnnnnn!
Senators Mike Gravel and Ron Paul are not listed as having accepted money from the Oil corporations, but if you follow the oil money at the Oil Change International website, you can see a fun little graphic detailing how all the other presidential candidates accepted money.
So that’s why Grandpa Gravel and Popular Paul are being ignored. The well-paid media is not reporting on these two presidential candidates because they won’t play ball with the oil tycoons. Ah, well, maybe a sense of decency and an intact moral compass is more valuable than being president of United States.
