Speaking of people who should be in jail

Despite the blood on his hands from his policies of putting profits ahead of the lives of miners, ousted coal baron Don Blankenship types out a column for the Daily Mail to attempt to justify his dirtiest campaign in the state's political history.

Blankenship's For the Sake of the Kids campaign should have focused on safe mining practices, and then maybe he wouldn't have left so many children fatherless.

I have to wonder (4.00 / 2)
why the Daily Mail gives the guy a forum. He doesn't even live in West Virginia these days. He fled to Tennessee with his golden parachute money.

But seeing as how he still bankrolls the WV GOP, it's easy to see why local Republicans would love to rehabilitate him in the media.


Getting a lecture on morality from the morally bankrupt Blankenship (4.00 / 2)
The corporate media gives a wide-open platform for the Blankenships in this country. Fox hired Newt Gingrich as an analyst after he was found guilty of ethics violations while Speaker of the House.  Clear Channel Communications  pays huge bucks to a fat man who was addicted to drugs to preach to us about how black athletes are overpaid and should be put in jail for doing drugs.I wouldn't be surprised if Blankenship became a regular on 'Decision Makers' .
