  • The Chorus: The "watchdog s" of the press and public interest groups tend to miss the mark on complex scientific issues. They do not have, as Lippmann noted in a letter to Alice Hamilton in 1928, the necessary technical information. They wait, instead, to be supplied. CBS, AFP, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Financial Times, Mother Jones and many others have been well supplied with proven oil reserve information from the Department of Energy and the oil industry. However, they have not sought -- nor apparently have they received -- any additional information.
