The myth that fracking is overwhelmingly popular in Pennsylvania is a feedback loop btwn politicians—some heavily funded by oil-and-gas campaign dollars, some seeking endorsements of trade unions that have bought into the job-creation hype—& a lazy news media, writes Will Bunch
All of this from Will Bunch + adding that horserace coverage really suffers from ignoring local elections. Opposition to fracking MOVES voters, esp in SEPA where legislative candidates who ran explicitly on environment flipped Delaware County & eventually the PA House
