Coal industry propaganda disguised as journalism
Filed Under:
This afternoon on WYKT news, anchors Bill Bryant and Barbara Bailey "interviewed" a representative of Coal Education Development and Resources (CEDAR) in a completely uncritical manner. It almost sounded as if they were reading straight from CEDAR's website. Where is the discussion about the impact of coal on people living below MTR mines? Why don't they ask about the environmental costs of the extraction and burning of coal? If you're as disgusted at this as we are, please take a moment to contact the station and ask if they'll give equal time on the air to a member of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth.
Make them accountable!
