We are used to gross distortion in the reporting of anything by the main stream media.\u00a0 We have gone well beyond bias to the point of total distrust.\u00a0 Perhaps the best example of this has been the reporting on the Dakota Access Pipeline.\u00a0 If you watched the main stream media this is just a bunch of people outraged by the total disregard to the environment by the greedy oil companies, right?\u00a0 The oil companies want to pollute a pristine Indian reservation just to make a couple of extra bucks. \u00a0What more do you need to know?<\/p>\n
The reality is that this involves placing a pipeline, very near the site of an existing pipeline that has been working without problems since 1982.\u00a0 This pipeline will be located 100 ft. below the Missouri River that flows into Lake Oahe.\u00a0 While we should always be concerned about pollution, this is a classic example of selective outrage.\u00a0 The pipeline doesn\u2019t actually cross the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.\u00a0 The Missouri River does flow into Lake Oahe, and it is important to prevent pollution of the Missouri River.\u00a0 But the River itself is 2,341 miles long, before it merges with the Mississippi River. \u00a0It is the longest river in the United States. Have you ever wondered if there are any bridges over the Missouri River?\u00a0 It turns out there are approximately 154 bridges over the Missouri River.\u00a0 Following is a list of bridges over the Missouri River from WikiPedia, located in Montana and North Dakota, all of which are \u201cbefore<\/strong>\u201d Lake Oahe:<\/p>\n
