"A Chevron well in the preparation stages for hydraulic fracturing exploded last Tuesday 50 miles south of Pittsburgh, Penn., causing a fire that lasted for four days and left one Chevron contractor unaccounted for and another one injured.

The fire is now out, but Chevron's damage control efforts may be far from over.

An image of a coupon from Chevron offering free pizza to residents near last week's disaster was posted online Monday, prompting outrage, mockery and disbelief among activists and the Internet commentariat. They say the offer shows Chevron lacks awareness of the seriousness of its actions and indicates a larger problem of oil and gas companies buying support in communities where hydraulic fracturing — the practice in which thousands of gallons of water mixed with chemicals are pumped into deeply drilled wells to break up naturally occurring oil and gas formations — is on the rise."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

#0 sez: "I would be concerned that if I took advantage of Chevron's generosity and later developed a frack-related medical condition, they would try to claim I had settled out of court for a cheese pizza."

1. Where can I find these folks on the tube?....anyone, anyone?

I remember tuning in to these folks on their delightful show every once in awhile. Seems it was "Current TV". Is that still around? Are they being carried on any network presently? Would appreciate any news on them. Thanks.

3. It was Current TV

Now that Current has folded they're not on TV anymore. They do a live steaming broadcast 5 days a week on TYT Network (http://www.tytnetwork.com/), and you can see all the clips the next day on YouTube.
