What boom? Industry pundits claim thousands of jobs will be created, but numbers don’t quite add up; Rachel Morgan; Beaver County Times; May 4, 2013.
Ms. Morgan writes for multiple Calkins Media properties, including Shalereporter.com (See below.).
Below is a detailed critique of portions of this column.
This isn’t as much a critique of the piece as it is an example of media bias. Keep in mind the subject article is presented as a news article, not opinion.
As noted above, Ms. Morgan also writes for Shalereporter.com. If you’re not up to speed on Shalereporter.com, Calkins Media established Shalereporter.com to feed Calkins properties like the BCT with anti-Marcellus “news” and editorial pieces. You can learn more about Shalereporter.com here.
You have to appreciate the chutzpah. A publication whose purpose and efforts are to throw monkey wrenches into Marcellus gas development then wonders why alleged claims by “Industry pundits” (Note: Ms. Morgan is herself a pundit.) don’t measure up.
