Washington Post Falls For Left-Wing Fraud, Embarrasses Itself

Today’s Washington Post features an article by Steven Mufson and Juliet Eilperin headlined, “The biggest lease holder in Canada’s oil sands isn’t Exxon Mobil or Chevron. It’s the Koch brothers.” The article was based on a newly-issued two-page report by the far-left International Forum on Globalization. The Post reported:

You might expect the biggest lease owner in Canada’s oil sands, or tar sands, to be one of the international oil giants, like Exxon Mobil or Royal Dutch Shell. But that isn’t the case. The biggest lease holder in the northern Alberta oil sands is a subsidiary of Koch Industries, the privately-owned cornerstone of the fortune of conservative Koch brothers Charles and David.

Actually, nearly all of the tar sands leaseholders are smaller companies that you haven’t heard of–dozens, if not hundreds of them. Koch is not, in fact, the largest leaseholder, but hold that thought.....

It seems to me that I recall some here on this board who also told this lie and some other lies addressed in the article.

If the Koch brothers own more then XOM, Chevron, and Royal Dutch then the article is accurate.

No, that is not the case.

"The biggest lease holder in Canada’s oil sands isn’t Exxon Mobil or Chevron. It’s the Koch brothers."

That says that the Koch brothers are the biggest leas holder in Canada's oil sands. But they are not. No matter how many times the left keeps repeating the lie.
