Ft. Worth Star-Telegram ^ | Feb. 24, 2014 | Jim Fuquay

“Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson Sues to Block Water Tower That Might Supply Fracking Operations,” cried the Huffington Post online news site. “Exxon Mobil CEO: No fracking near my backyard,” reported USA Today.

[...]

“This is not an anti-fracking lawsuit,” Whitten said. “Nothing could be further from the truth.”

The lamestream media are wrongly painting Rex Tilleron's suit as anti-fracking. Even the liberal Star-Telegram (part of the extreme leftist McClatchy propaganda empire) gets this one right. The truth is that it's about an unsightly 160-foot water in a nice neighborhood. Exxon is a good corporate citizen in the Fort Worth-Dallas area and is doing its part to achieve American energy independence even with the crippling regulations unilaterally imposed by the corrupt obama regime.

Ping to a number of patriots here in Texas about this story and the actual facts that are being twisted by the enemy media.

Drill baby drill! Frack baby frack!

Rachel Maddow’s little sister Chris Hayes was smirking and lying his ass off about this tonight.

That's what prompted this -- I was switching to ESPN from FX and passed MSLSD on the way when I heard Bartonville, Texas mentioned. That led me to research the real story behind the phoney baloney that obama's media are pushing.

The tower doesn’t so much supply the water. The height of the water column connected to the water system supplies pressure to the system (pressure is distributed equally throughout the lowest levels of the system and is dependent on the height of the water column); the reservoir at the top just ensures that the column doesn’t get drawn down to the point the water pressure fluctuates.
