In recent weeks, the conservative media conglomerate Sinclair Broadcast Group has aired multiple news segments -- embedded in local TV newscasts or in its weekend Full Measure program -- pushing pro-fossil fuel propaganda instead of engaging in an honest discussion about jobs in the energy industry. This went on even as Texas’ fossil fuel-reliant energy generation failed during a historic winter storm, which prompted right-wing media outlets to falsely blame renewable energy instead. Fox News led the way in lying about the Texas blackouts during the storm, going to bat for the fossil fuel industry by falsely blaming frozen wind turbines and green energy policies for statewide power outages. And the network made such false claims well over 100 times in a three-day period. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott joined in this smear campaign against renewable energy in an appearance on the right-wing disinformation channel, claiming that the Texas power failure “shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America.”
