Big Media and Big Oil - are they one and the same?

The Greatest Story Never Written is what's going on with gasoline prices and what's causing it. That, aside from Big Media's failings on wars and their causes, is their greatest and most costly failing in my memory. Big Media simply will not address the hidden story of manipulation of world energy supplies and the power and riches resulting therefrom.

I have maintained throughout the years that the laws of supply and demand do not freely operate in energy markets (and many others controlled by government). Because of that, as I said here 5/2/08, Bush and the oil companies are eating America alive and mass media can't see that the Energy Empire - using front men like Pat Tiberi - is in a final drive to seal some deals before Bush departs. Read it here.

Breitbart reported 5/17/08that Bush said "Our problem in America gets solved when we aggressively go for domestic exploration. Our problem in America gets solved if we expand our refining capacity, promote nuclear energy and continue our strategy for the advancing of alternative energies as well as conservation."

Was my prediction on target?

Two days later Cal Thomas, who sometimes seems half-bright, wrote an Advocate column that had what he wants us to believe is the answer to our problems. He quoted an expert on why repeal of the $17 billion in tax breaks to oil companies would be wrong and why oil companies should be allowed to defy environmentalist concerns about off-shore drilling. His source? That would be Peter Robertson, vice chairman of Chevron.

Brilliant journalist, that Cal Thomas.

The fact is that Americans and the rest of the world are under attack by oil companies, politicians, speculators, and most of all the President of the United States.

The oil swindle started with President George H. W. Bush and helped propel George W. into office. You can read how this occurred in a report by Samuel A. Stanson, entitled Did former President George H. W. Bush create an oil crisis in order to get his son elected?

Then read another well-researched piece by Emanuel A. Winston at Israelenews.com:"The Oil Swindle Never Stopped"

All Big Media need to do is to pick up on this research. They haven't and likely they won't. They will keep publishing rehashes of oil company propaganda written by hopeless hacks like Cal Thomas.

Is it because Big Media are too lazy and/or too stupid? Or is it rather because - somewhere up the feeding chain - Big Media and Big Oil are one and the same?
