NPR and CBS do their best to cover for Clinton on fossil fuel money.

[Karmadillo]

4. Hillary (2008 version) has denounced your specious reasoning. She was outraged by $200,000

from executives and employees of oil companies taken by President Obama. She pointed out how this kind of money influenced the decisions politicians make. Imagine how outraged Hillary (2008 version) would be at the $5,000,000 Hillary (2016 version) has taken from executives and employees of the fossil fuel industry. If $200,000 got Obama to vote for the Bush-Cheney energy bill, what will Hillary (2016 version) do to repay the fossil fuel industry for its $5,000,000?

n response to the confrontation, Nick Merrill, Clinton's spokesman, said the candidate "has not taken a dollar from oil and gas industry PACs or corporations." Clinton's campaign, in fact, has not received any money directly from oil and gas companies, as that would violate election law.

But during her 2008 presidential campaign against Obama, Clinton ran a 30-second ad hitting the then senator for the same thing.

"You've seen the ad," says a narrator before cutting to a separate ad of Obama saying, "I don't take one from oil companies."

"No candidate does. It has been against the law for 100 years," says the narrator. "But Barack Obama accepted $200,000 from executives and employees of oil companies. Every gallon of gas takes over three bucks from your pocket. But Obama voted for the Bush-Cheney energy bill that puts $6 billion in the pocket of big oil."

The narrator adds, "Hillary voted against it. She will make oil companies pay to crate the new jobs in clean energy America needs."

Clinton concludes the ad by saying, "I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message."
