Funny Woman Spouts Quaint Olde Time Views

--- 2007-07-17 ---

Why would CNN even provide a platform for this woman to spew her decaying ideas? Why do we care about hearing what she has to say anymore? Isn't this exactly the kind of failed mainstream crap that we've had pumped down our throats all along that's gotten us into our rotten oil addiction predicament in the first place?!?!

Chatting with America's gas price survey maven

Despite the article actually being titled "Chatting with America's gas price survey maven", CNN gives it top billing on their front page with the sensational and anti-environmental title "Climate 'boogeyman'".

CNN is once again proving itself to be a mouthpiece for corporate interests and not willing to reflect the true interests of the population. Among the gems from this interview is Trilby Lundberg decrying the subsidizing of "uneconomic" sources of energy, such as biofuels. After having been focused on the subject of gasoline for so many years, how can she still fail to see the extent of the indirect costs of petroleum as a fuel source, and the extent to which we are - in effect - subsidizing its price through trillions of dollars of taxpayer money that are directed towards military exploits in foreign lands, just in order to secure the sources of oil production!?!?

Among Trilby's other doozies are her Global Warming denial. You only need to read the last few paragraphs of the interview to see whose pocket she may be comfortably nesting in. I'm sorry, but I don't see any integrity - whatsoever - in anything she has to say here. I'm losing respect for CNN by the day (as if the Iraq war debacle wasn't already sufficient to thoroughly discredit them, and the rest of the US' conservative mainstream media).
