Bob Murray is not a popular person where I come from. As he closed down a mine, ignored the union and it’s members. But let’s feel sorry for this man not only is he once agiain looking at law suits he, apearrs to be in failing health. He will answer as we all do if he is as bad as he projects himself.

Then of course there’s the racially charged appellation of “charcoal.” Try being a piece of coal in West Virginia.

What about getting paid to rail a dude?

“So CNN opts for the $$$ instead of railing this guy”

I would most certainly opt for the $$$ if given a choice between that and railing a guy.

Even so, the coal itself has no effect until it is burned.

You can’t blame the coal. Do you think the coal wants to get set on fire? It probably hurts.

CNN are being pussys about this story. There is now several “coal keeps America running” commercials playing on CNN. It’s well known that Bob Murray is on every coal organization and can tighten and loosen the purse strings for advertising at a whim.

So CNN opts for the $$$ instead of railing this guy for telling lie after lie.

Our god damn system is so far broken.

I think the which referred to “coal” not “digging up coal”. It would be more clear if JD could write above a 3rd grade level.

Digging up coal has absolutely no effect on the climate.

It’s burning the coal that allegedly might hypothetically warm the so-called globe.

Nice post. It’s clear that Bob Murray is trying to cover his ass with every bogus mention of “seismic activity”.

I hope the lawyers get ahold of his ass and close him down.
