Left-wing filmmaker Josh Fox launched his latest film, Awake, a Dream from Standing Rock, online April 22 — after it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The tiny northern Pennsylvania town of Dimock has been the site of a battle over natural gas drilling for several years. Some residents claimed the drilling contaminated their water, and they sued Cabot Oil & Gas in a battle that gained national news attention.
Test after test failed to find fracking contaminants in the water, something the lawyer for those Dimock residents just admitted in…

November 3rd, 2014 4:39 PM
Watch out, because greedy businessmen might start fracking under your neighborhood, making your drinking water flammable and causing earthquakes.

Slate Rehashes Fallacious 'Flaming Faucet' Fixation
July 24th, 2013 1:20 PM
Yesterday, Slate promoted to their front page a July 19 article promising a look at “what fracking really looks like.” David Rosenberg's piece about the photos taken by New York-based documentary photographer Nina Berman seems to rehash the frivolous narrative that fracking will turn your bathroom into the devil's water closet, complete with fountains of flame!
Liberals – and their allies…
Gasland Part II: Same Misleading Images, New Conspiracy Theory
July 10th, 2013 4:39 PM
Director and provocateur Josh Fox is confident “There is no safe drilling” and has made two of what The New York Times called “muckraking documentaries” crusading against the practice of hydraulic fracturing or “fracking.” His movies are powerful propaganda rife with misleading or inaccurate claims and leave little to no room for the other side.

‘FrackNation’ Documentary Exposes Shoddy, Anti-science Journalism
January 22nd, 2013 6:15 PM
Explosions and fires are a common feature of today’s fictional movies as heroes dodge bullets and conflagrations in pursuit of justice. That might explain why opponents of hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) have decided to dramatize their case against scientific progress by lighting water on fire and then falsely blaming fracking for the blaze.
Thanks to a new film called FrackNation (watch…

July 27th, 2012 9:24 AM
Contaminated water, health problems, and now … earthquakes? Fracking, a way to get natural gas out of layers deep within the earth, has been blamed for it all and the liberal news media have been consistently against the method, rarely showing supporters or mentioning any upside of the process.
Hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as fracking, is a technique used to get natural gas out…
