Be careful when reading these anti-Colstrip headlines

Be very careful when you scroll through the news and read these anti-Colstrip stories. Don’t fall for fake news, false stories.

This is something you should pay attention to in every news item. Sometimes the news story may be okay, but the headline is pushing a fake news story.

I saw a good example of this on Wednesday morning. It was the headline from KTVQ-TV: “Health officials applaud new EPA rule that would limit emissions at Colstrip.”

Wait a minute, these outrageous new rules, backed by Biden’s EPA, would CLOSE Colstrip, Montana and the union jobs that come with the coal plant. Which “health officials” support these regulations here in Montana? Turns out there were no “health officials” supporting these rules, at least none quoted in the story.

The one quoted in the story was ONE doctor from the Billings Clinic (and I imagine he is definitely NOT speaking for the Billings Clinic). During a short commercial break, I quickly walked down the hall to fill my coffee cup. I wonder who this doctor is, I asked myself. Within about 30 seconds before coming out of the commercial break, I did a quick search on Open Secrets and quickly came up with the answer.

It turns out this doctor is a major donor to the Democratic Party. He donated to several Democratic campaigns here in Montana, including Senator Jon Tester’s campaign. BIG surprise that a doctor attacking Colstrip also supports Jon Tester, right? He is actually a mouthpiece for the radical MEIC dark money environmental group.
