District 5 Diary: Skillful, sinister propaganda

The above video is part of the intro to the PBS Newshour.

At 2:03 PM, Gregski said...: Gotta love the shot of the energy windmills in the BNSF commercial.

Owned by Obama-crony billionaire Warren Buffet's company, Berkshire Hathaway, the BNSF's highest-revenue-growth segment since 2008 is crude petroluem shipments from the fracked northern plains oilfields. An occasional derailment with its spills, fireballs and fatalities, is a minor ding in the profitability of those shipments.

Thanks to President Obama's continued delay and obstruction of the Keystone pipeline permit I bet a lot of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are becoming Democrats.

I invite Rob's lefty-greenie commenters to tell me whether it's chutzpah, or just brilliant audience insight, that informs BNSF's decision to air its windmill-nirvana commercial on PBS.
