Blankenship was not treated in a fair or professional manner by the reporter. In my amateur opinion, the reporter should be fired.
I’ll tell you what. My whole family is from Horsecreek WVa, my mother and her mother both went to Marsh Fork High school and half the men in my family were coal miners. Say what you want about any other union, coal miner unions were the only ones that play fair with the men and make things safe - Blankenship opens his mouth, he’s lying, and he is the worst of the worst. As long as coal is running, he could care less about safety of the men. He makes 18 million a year and let’s see exactly what kind of settlement he gives the kids of the miners. I despise that man, he is going straight to hell.
