Major environmental group makes first ever endorsement of Hillary Clinton

[Divernan]

9. This is a PR puff piece, not an investigative report.

I'm very disappointed in the low level of "journalism" and "reporting" of this article. The reporter cough-stenographer-cough basically repeats the release from the NRDC statement without any follow up questioning of the organization or it's spokesperson as to Clinton's international promotion of fracking in Europe, Africa and the Middle East while she was Secretary of State, her support for the Keystone Pipeline, Clinton's very private, very lucrative, no-press-allowed Philadelphia fundraiser for Big Energy lobbyists, criticism of Clinton by other major environmental groups, Hillary's BFF relationship with Monsanto, etc.

Don't tell me that the Washington Post is held in such low regard by the NRDC that it's president or PR person would not take a phone call from a Wa-Po reporter with follow up questions.

The reporter repeats paragraph after paragraph of the pro-Hillary press release, but didn't take time to get a response from Sanders or his campaign. And the NRDC's silence on Sanders is deafening. I suggest that the reporter put down the cheerleader pom-poms & try her hand at investigative reporting. She's never going to be getting an SDX award at the National Press Club with puff pieces like this. I am not surprised that her degree is in government, not in journalism. I suggest she take a career break and enroll in Columbia's graduate program for a master's in journalism.

So what you're saying is, the NRDC Action Fund is thumbs up for Fracking and the Keystone XL Pipeline? Oh, lets not forget about the TPP which will give corporations an opening to pollute more, since they'll be suing every government under the sun to do so, since they'll be sovereign entities now. Good job on your research NRDC Action Fund ... you really knocked this one out of the park, or padded your pockets, either way you've sold your morals and screwed the people of this planet.

Meanwhile the rest of the legit environmental groups found Hillary's supports Fracking which is Hillary approved, According to Greenpeace : Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Super PAC supporting her have received $138,400 from fossil fuel lobbyists and $1,327,210 from bundlers. http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/0...

The NRCD Action Fund endorsing Hillary an Arch supporter of fracking? I thought I'd seen it all. Look, if Clinton has you in her pocket just say so and stop already the Trump bogeyman. Hillary might edge out Sanders in California but she's toast. She's been unelectable as POTUS before and since 2008. She WILL lose to Trump come November. The writing has been on the wall for a long while and only members of her cult are convinced she's presidential material.
