Obviously not made to break even. Who funds this propaganda, Hollywood bimbos?

A review ... Glorious ‘Bastards’
Feature: Target of global warming agitprop unconcerned, amused
http://freebeacon.com/glorious-bastards/

Bastards is premised on an ambitious conspiracy theory that has been spun so often it’s become a cliché: Exxon Mobil and Koch Industries, which Rosebraugh absurdly calls “the biggest company you’ve never heard of,” are deploying paid shills including think tankers and politicians to obstruct solutions to and deceive the public about climate change.

Four More Years! Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Good article turns the argument of "organized climate denial" around, explaining how a multi-billion dollar Green industry with help from corrupt MSM puts out propaganda to counter scientific skepticism of the Climate Apocalypse.

Big Green’s complaints about Donors Trust and climate skeptic money are hollow and pathetic

Just before Bastards premiered, Greenpeace published a hit piece headlined, “Donors Trust laundering climate denial funding: The shadow operation has laundered $146 million in climate-denial funding.” A few days after that, New York-based media producer Democracy Now! broadcast a story called “The ATM for climate denial: Secretive Donors Trust funds vast network of global warming skeptics.”

This flank of the attack surge began with a PBS Frontline broadcast last October, followed by inquires by The Nation (November), the Center for Public Integrity (December), and Mother Jones (January), all resulting in February articles. The appearance of pre-arrangement, of course, is merely the old journalism fact of life, that the liberal media feed each other, and not necessarily collusion.

What did Donors Trust do to deserve this four-pronged (so far) attack? Nothing. That is, nothing beyond disagreeing with climate jihadists (or whatever the appropriate counterpart to “climate deniers” may be). I spoke with Donors president and CEO Whitney Ball, who told me that all the “shadow” and “secrecy” and “black box” and “dark money” accusations in these attacks could apply to every 501(c)(3) public charity, not just Donors Trust.

You're just a dumb conserva-troll. Who pays you to spread your filth around the internet? You can't suppress the truth anymore. It's catching up with you.
