European newspaper prints story about Congress US papers ignore.

The legalized corporate corruption around XL pipeline is bewildering to the Europeans and to the US it's barely known as our news agencies cannot print it.  The US news sources are under a interwoven corporate imposed censorship of the news unfavorable to certain industries so severe Putin would be proud.

185 of the 195 members of the House of Representatives who count big oil in their top 20 contributors support the bill directing Obama's immediate approval of the pipeline to carry oil from border to border for the purpose of exporting most of it, all the risk with little gain.  This of course would require the review be stopped before it is complete and rubber stamp big oil's wishes.

At the same time Europe is amused that Canada for the first time has it's fingers in US politics skirting international ethics in so doing, and a bit of gossip worthy interest, the mix of Canadian oil and politicians are bashing celebrities in the US who speak against the pipeline.
