Tainted media alert: RealClearPolitics partners with coal industry

Fresh from BlueNC's inbox:

Washington, D.C. – RealClearPolitics announced today its "Powering the Road to 2016" presidential candidate forums in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Sponsored by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), the discussions will provide presidential candidates an opportunity to outline their energy policies and priorities to primary voters across the country.

The "Powering the Road to 2016" policy discussions, previously held in Denver, Co are turning toward pivotal primary states at a time when important energy issues are being debated on the campaign trail. The events will allow candidates to make remarks to voters and take questions. The events will include 200-250 state and local elected officials, politically engaged voters, media, local policy makers, business leaders, decision makers and academia.

While their bent will come as no surprise to many reading this, I have seen an increase in (Progressive) folks who have linked to some of their polls or articles, especially on Facebook. Please don't do that here. We welcome many points of view, but "clean coal" is such a laughable contradiction it might just break the Internet. You don't want to be responsible for that, do you? I didn't think so.
