In the same spirit, I wish you had space to discuss PragerU's fracking billionaire funded fossil fuel propaganda.

From the Wiki:
>Much of the early funding for PragerU came from hydraulic fracturing billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks.[2][4]
Not to mention all the heavily funded global warming denialism pushed by it.
- jessaustin 7y agoIn the same spirit... What spirit is that? Have you sent me money? Do you wear hats and T-shirts with my name on them? b^) Seriously, though, we have plenty of space here. It doesn't surprise me that rich people like to give money to people who agree that those same rich people should be rich. Basically everything I see on TV, and certainly all the ads, amount to the same thing. With all of their vast resources, the Wilks haven't managed to keep the message of global warming from reaching me. Isn't that curious? Here you have several actual billionaires, allied with a variety of vaguely telegenic pundits, and Alphabet swats them away without even really making an effort. That's the monopoly I was talking about. You may celebrate when speakers you dislike are silenced, but it makes me wonder who else is being silenced, who because they're not billionaires never even came to my attention.
