You can provide evidence that some aquifers had methane (and even oil) in them before a frac was conducted, demonstrate the absence of any uphole pressure changes, and show the only damage which has ever been done came from either blowouts, surface equipment failures, or spills (the truck turned over), with the rare exception of one or two unscrupulous operators (service companies, not oil companies), who tried to cut a corner and got shut down for their troubles.
There are places with bad water, but the oil companies didn't do that fracking. There are a few old refinery sites with problems, and those are being monitored and remediated as they come to the attention of TPTB--old railroad shops had similar problems, as did service stations, and the single largest current contributor to hydrocarbons in the water table is..... parking lot runoff.
But the average Bobblehead-American will just sit and nod as the pap runs through their brain...That's what they are trained to do, K-12 and beyond.
As long as the crockumentary is referred to by its proper genre (science fiction), we'll be safe from the little evil humanoid creatures climbing out of the oil wells and ravaging B-movie blondes at night...Otherwise the C.H.U.D. will be really peeved when they have to cash in their stuff to get enough gas to do a drive-by.

There may be a few- but the oil industy is one of the msot heavily regulated and heavily watched business i nthe country- it would be very hard for an unscroupulous company to get away with it for very long before being fined out of business— There have been a few in the past- companies jumping in, making quick buck, then jumping out again and leaving behind a mess- however- as you state, these are beign cleaned up but top listen to the left, you woudl think that those few past unscrupulous companies were representative of the whole industry-
