Chomsky from 1992 to discredit Think Progress?

You know, I get that you're trying to prove mass propaganda, but equating the Heartland Institute and its funders to Think Progress is like equating Current TV to Rupert Murdoch's empire. Thinks Progress doesn't have near the influence and reach of either. Also, your premise relies heavily on the influence of money, but it doesn't take into account that Think Progress isn't out there distorting the facts.

Can you show where Think Progress distorted the facts in a similar fashion to Heartland on global warming?

From your second link:

Andrew Gavin Marshall
I am a 24 year old independent researcher and writer based out of Montreal, Canada. I have written dozens of articles, essays, and reports online and in print on a wide array of social, economic, and political issues, always from a highly critical perspective. My writing can be found on my blog, www.andrewgavinmarshall.com. I am Project Manager of The People's Book Project (www.thepeoplesbookproject.com), an initiative through which I am attempting to write a comprehensive book on the institutions and ideas of power in our world, and what we can do about it.

Really? That's your source?
