The Energy Absurdity of the Week: Media Suddenly Discovers Politicians Make Promises for Campaign Donations

But only when Trump does it.

The news today is filled with reports by the legacy media outlets that form the propaganda wing of the Democrat party expressing shock and surprise that a presidential contender made some promises to business executives as he asked them for big contributions to his campaign.

Why, the nerve! That’s never happened, has it? Apparently, media outlets ranging from the Washington Post to Politico to Reuters to the New York Times to the Guardian to the Atlantic had never heard of such a thing happening until it involved a dinner for oil and gas executives hosted by - you guessed it - Donald J. Trump.

You don’t have to believe me: Just go out to Google and do a search on “Trump and oil executives,” and see what comes up.
