Media Matters for America produced this spot-on video to highlight the manner in which the totally bogus Keystone XL jobs figuresย were echoed and inflated by Fox News and other media.ย ย
Media Matters notes:ย Their job figures rely onย industry-fundedย studies, and at times evenย grossly exaggerateย those estimates. Watch as they struggle to get on the same page regarding which inflated estimate toย use:
Corporate pledges to fight deforestation by turning degraded pasture into cropland seen boosting demand for harmful chemical inputs.
As the New York-based firm was preparing to work on the climate summit, it was also pushing for Brazilian oil and gas distributor Vibra Energia to help power it.
Trade groups lobbied ministers to promote a source of energy linked to massive environmental harms at the U.N. climate conference.
Agribusiness companies generate huge quantities of greenhouse gas pollution โ and PR companies help them obscure it.
