I also noted the number of points 14, as we speak that this article garnered. That tells both of us that there are a whole lot of G Buddies who saw through this political propaganda piece! The really good new is as you said, "most GBytes are here looking for legitimate news and information."
teafortwo Champion Author Washington Posts:22,377 Points:1,412,040 Joined:Feb 2009	Message Posted: Jan 30, 2013 10:00:24 PM Ignore teafortwo Report Abuse Well said LetemEatCake ;0} We all know that the industry shills love the continual spew of industry propaganda; however, most GBytes are here looking for legitimate news and information, instead of just another dose of industry spin and propaganda :0\ As Cake pointed out, this is why the site article guidelines do not allow posts from the industry propaganda sites. Changing the "headline" is also verboten :0\ Bait & switch, bait & switch. We see the industry shills do this a lot to disguise the propaganda sites & try to make it seem like a legitimate "article". Too bad the oil & gas industry shills were not able to offer up some factual, legitimate info ;0\
LetemEatCake Champion Author Oklahoma City Posts:5,667 Points:1,229,950 Joined:Mar 2008	Message Posted: Jan 30, 2013 5:56:40 PM Ignore LetemEatCake Report Abuse Does it occur to anyone that the Link for the 'article' (using the term loosly) is a tout sheet looking for investors and employees for Eagle Ford Oil fields? How can anyone be duped by Big Oil in this manner? LOL! You might also note the actual title should be: "Eagle Ford Surpassing 8 Other Huge Shale Plays". Either or both are verboten under GB Guidelines. [Edited by: LetemEatCake at 1/30/2013 6:00:13 PM EST]
