STANDARD-ISSUE HYPOCRISY: Lefty activist demands oped ‘transparency,’ but hides own funding ties to Big Green, anti-energy groups. “I wonder if the 50 journalists – five of whom identified themselves with the Society for Professional Journalists – who signed a TrueTies.org letter to The New York Times endorsing the demand for oped page transparency were aware when they signed the letter of the hypocrisy behind the campaign or Elsner’s prevarication about his group’s stance on energy issues? I’m guessing it wouldn’t make any difference if they did.”
