For 5 years the RW media has been demanding the WH allow fracking firms to lease public lands.

Now, those exact same media outlets are pretending that they are outraged that the WH is preparing to lease public lands to fracking firms.

For years the Koch Brothers have wanted NC landowners to be denied their rights to their lands that Kochs' fracking firms wanted to drill - the GOP governor has now made that possible and NC landowners no longer can deny frackers who want to drill under their land.

Now, those same Koch Brothers are fueling this dispute between the rancher using public lands and the federal government who is preparing to lease the land to fracking firms?

Where is the legitimate media pointing out the hypocrisy?

I am against all fracking on public and private land. But, the hypocrisy of the RW on this is breathtaking.
