ABC and NBC sustained their refusal on Friday morning to cover a new report from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that found oil and natural gas fracking does not cause harm to the country’s drinking water.

After all three networks omitted any mention of the study on their Thursday evening newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today continued that pattern while CBS This Morning broke through and provided a new brief on the topic.

Geez. WTH? Did anybody clear the release of this info through marie harf or josh earnst? The lyin' king will NOT be pleased. That's why the msm for the most part, will carry on with the "sustainability" of reporting only bad news.

They need to keep their viewers stupid, uninformed and ignorant. It’s the only way to make sure they continue to vote Democrat.

YUP. No need to confuse the IPOS/LPOS/SPOS/UPOS with too much conflicting info.

They don’t report for us to decide, so we don’t watch.

The report is not EPA enough. Like other issues.

Why would anybody trust the EPA?

CBS This Morning broke through and provided a new brief on the topic.

Charlie Gibson mentioned it but HIGHLIGHTED it "could" still harm drinking supplies. So his presentation was odd, favoring the .00001% problems not that it basically got a clean bill of health.

Hey, c’mon. The fracking report is based on phony, politically-driven science. They only report on legitimate science...like global warming.

Well, to be honest, I didn’t read it but listened to a quick synopsis that said the epa hemmed and hawed for a long time but the bottom line was (regretfully) that no, it doesn’t pose a threat. Then again, the order for the study was issued in 2010 so after 5 years of trying to find an issue............. Probably some “new” data/info waiting in the wings.

Why is anyone concerned that they are not reporting this? You did not think that they are news organizations, did you?

Progressives, as they like to be called (not realizing how damning it is), are impervious to facts. It doesn’t matter how much evidence one shows, they’re still right and you’re still wrong — because they have a grander vision which peons like us can’t possibly see. So whatever they say is true (even if it isn’t.)

Tow reasons — principles they believe in fervently:

1. Truth is whatever serves The party.
2. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.

LOL! Somebody put something out on Mrs. rktman’s facebook yesterday that the epa report didn’t go far enough to find out the actual “facts”. So, a report that was requested in 2010 didn’t do enough research to obtain the desired results. Typical lib/wacko excuses. Now, if the epa had just spent one more month on the study........... Well, you know.

During the Nixon Administration the watchword was ‘do you have the correct information?’

The Left must cause confusion, because the truth is not on their side.

I listening to the replay of the first few minutes of the Mark Levin radio program from Friday and he is playing a few minutes of comedian George Carlin’s rant 23 years ago on the weenies on their global warming bull crap. George if he were alive would be savagely attacked by Obama and the Left today for telling the truth.
