Energy Secretary Steven Chu Resigns, Chastises Climate Deniers And Clean-Energy Critics


At every turn, the media has gone out of its way to highlight the scandal and not the successes,

======================

The media loves controversy.  If they were given alternatives to report, they'd do it.  The media doesn't see it as their job to beat the bushes for the other side's argument, for or against.

It's the job of the administration to provide spokesmen for policies, as it has done whenever it sincerely wants some policy (ACA, is one example, and most recently gun control advocates).

That's what cabinet secretaries do, friend; engage in the politics of the division of government they oversee.  They further the agenda and the policies of the administration that it serves. They do not manage the day-to-day operations of their agencies.  That's the role of the government's permanent employees.  In Chu's case, his job was to further government investment in clean energy, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, address the global climate crisis, and create millions of new jobs.  

Keeping the public informed about what the government is doing and what's been accomplished isn't the job of the media.  There are publicity departments in just about every agency in government that interface with the White House's own publicity (media) department for the express purpose of influencing public opinion.  And when the Obama administration wants to do it, they do it expertly.   

The 68 responses to my comment proves my point.  See how the political arm of the government springs into action when it wants to?  Many, if not all, of the responses here are sock puppets, people/software programs, paid to comment, to lend the impression of support for Obama's policies.   Your tax dollars at work.
