These kinds of canned green-guilting stories are not the ones I’m talking about.
It’s the stories we never imagine because the journalists are not allowed to do their jobs. Instead they are just paid a salary to sit and read talking points handed to them from unnamed sources and any idea controversial to any monied interest gets killed before it even starts.
History is a meditation on the old saying, “Truth is stranger than fiction.” If our media were functioning, then we would find news and current events to be the same. But as it stands, the truly interesting stories are only told after the dust settles.
