And the Obama Administration steps in to save the day ! —
I wanted to revive this thread due to the utter lack of attention this situation has received in relationship to other important news here on the TPM main page and in The Hive. There has been just a single article by TPM staff on the issue. Dakota Access Pipeline Construction to Continue
No mention of Amy Goodman’s arrest and subsequent trial for rioting here. Nothing on the very heavy handed police treatment of protesters. These are issues in general that TPM has most always found to be compelling stories in the past. I understand we are in the midst of a Presidential election, but the dearth of coverage on the Dakota pipeline and the growing protests in light of the acquittal of the the Vanilla Isis crew is disconcerting.
I would love to hear others thoughts on the issue.
