Corruption at The Washington Post
So the Post could have written a very different story about the Keystone Pipeline. The Post could have written that opposition to the pipeline is being funded in large part by [billionaire Tom Steyer] who has a personal financial interest in the pipeline not being built. And that’s not all! The billionaire is a political crony who has used his connections in Washington to get rich and to fleece consumers and taxpayers. Now, with Keystone, he is doing it again! How is that for a story that would “stir and inflame public debate in this election year?”
[…]
So we have a contrast that couldn’t be clearer: the Washington Post published a false story about support for Keystone because it fit the Democratic Party’s agenda. It covered up a similar, but true story about opposition to the pipeline (and about “green” politics in general) because that, too, fit the Democratic Party’s agenda. I don’t think we need to look any further to connect the dots.
And yet, a still deeper level of corruption is on display here. Juliet Eilperin is a reporter for the Washington Post who covers, among other things, environmental politics. As I wrote in my prior post, she is married to Andrew Light. Light writes on climate policy for the Center for American Progress, a far-left organization that has carried on a years-long vendetta against Charles and David Koch on its web site, Think Progress. Light is also a member of the Obama administration, as Senior Adviser to the Special Envoy on Climate Change in the Department of State. The Center for American Progress is headed by John Podesta, who chaired Barack Obama’s transition team and is now listed as a “special advisor” to the Obama administration. Note that Ms. Eilperin quoted Podesta, her husband’s boss, in her puff piece on Tom Steyer.
Oh, yes-one more thing. Guess who sits on the board of the Center for American Progress? Yup. Tom Steyer.
Man. All that incest and ménage a douzaines.
Nothing but trash. Real Trash.
Makes a hillbilly trailer park look virtuous by comparison.
they all went to MSU – Make Stuff Up

The Center for American Progress celebrated their tenth anniversary back in October.
Our own shiny pony was a featured speaker. We paid for his weekend trip.
I wonder if they paid him ?
A cheque (or honorarium) from a charity would be hard to resist.

I believe this is the correct link:

T Steyer, Bloomberg, Soros, Gellen, Axelrod, Emanuel, Plouffe, Stone, Madoff, Mahar, Penn, Dunn, Lerner, Klein,…..and the list goes on:-))))
Tom Steyer is a real piece of work and don’t be surprised if he runs for POTUS in 2016. He’s got the money, the ambition and has wrapped the green cloak of goodness around himself to appease the brain dead Democratic zombies. He’s like a Bloomberg on steroids and will do whatever it takes to stay in the news. He can buy the press as well as the useful idiots required for activism. As with all power hungry wannabe kings, just follow the money.

And everyone thinks Russia is corrupt.
Presstitutes gotta do what a presstitute does.
It is their nature to fawn upon powerful people, to forgive all transgressions of their favourites, while broadcasting lies about all who doubt the meme.
This is modern “impartial ” journalism.
Or would that be Imperial Journalism?
Running propaganda for their King to be?
The public are voting with their wallets, the old media is in massive decline.
They need Steyers money to hide this decline.
The disconnect gets more pronounced every day.
The MSM ups the lies, the public flees their stores.
The people stop answering pollsters, the polls say Liberals winning.
MSM trumpets these polls and then are surprised by actual results.
I have been wondering what Steyer’s angle is. I’ll bet you are right. He is planning to run for President. He seems to know how that game is played, anyway. Too bad most voters don’t.
