Those cherry picked facts came from actual law suites in which Murray and his company was found liable, if I remember correctly.

  Looking for that, I found wrongful death lawsuits that were settled under nondisclosure agreements, so they probably weren't LWT's source. I also found that Genwal Resources, a subsidiary of a subsidiary of Murray Energy, agreed they had violated two safety regulations. They were fined $500,000, but the government said "We were unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the company's actions caused the mine collapse"[1]. LWT didn't include that. Instead they simply said "the government's investigation...found it was caused by unauthorized mining practices." Don't you think "we were unable to prove [that]" should have been included by LWT? 1: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/03/09/148319836/mining-company-pleads-guilty-for-2007-utah-mine-disaster https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/03/09/148319836...

    Now I could do my own digging, or I could trust Murrays lawyers doing that for their law suite against LWT (no idea why I kept adding a N...). A law suite they lost. If LWT reporting were factually wrong, I assume it would have been brought up in court.
