12. Now, come on. This has been covered from the beginning,
Sun Apr 8, 2018, 04:08 AM
Apr 2018

and even screen media, including evening news, covered it for a very long time. People climbing through fences and getting repelled by hired guards with dogs made the drama that sells, men in tribal costume on horses make great visuals, and people from 500 tribes gathering to fight nasty old big oil continued to develop a great story.

Of course, when it moved to the courts it dropped off the evening news. That is when people who CARED enough to follow moved to written coverage in the MSM as the conflict progressed.

This, for instance, was in the WaPo's energy and environment section 2 days ago: Dakota Access pipeline developer submits spill response plan https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/energy-environment/dakota-access-pipeline-developer-submits-spill-response-plan/2018/04/06/6619857e-39db-11e8-af3c-2123715f78df_story.html?utm_term=.cdc9a02b49ca

This from March 1 points out how these peoples' problems are exploited by trolls: These provocative images show Russian trolls sought to inflame debate over climate change, fracking and Dakota pipeline https://www.google.com/search?q=Russian+trolls+Dakota+Access+Pipeline&rlz=1C1AWFA_enUS760US760&oq=Russian+trolls+Dakota+Access+Pipeline&aqs=chrome..69i57.6117j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Enjoy. If you want another, let me know.
