This morning, a first here on Capitol Hill, big oil executives will be in the hot seat, accused of deliberately knowing – or actually knowing that their products are poisoning the environment and still spent millions of dollars and spent years just trying to mislead the public and hide that from the public. Correspondent Faith Abubey excitedly followed: “And we’re going to turn now back to Washington.Top oil company executives will be on Capitol Hill facing questions over accusations the industry has misled the public about how fossil fuels contribute to climate change,” co-host Robin Roberts proclaimed early in the 7:00 a.m. On Thursday, while ABC’s Good Morning America completely ignored Attorney General Merrick Garland being grilled during a contentious Wednesday Senate hearing about the Department of Justice treating concerned parents of schoolchildren like criminals, the network broadcast did find time to hype an upcoming congressional hearing in which Democrats were set to demonize oil companies for “poisoning the environment.”
