The climate investigations outlet @floodlightnews.org was also targeted in the piece. Here’s their excellent reporting on Central ND News.

Note the North Dakota Newspaper Association says Central ND News does not meet the definition of a newspaper 2/

Central ND News has also been going after the @northdakotamonitor.com one of maybe two local outlets that has consistently sent reporters into the courtroom.

Amy Dalrymple, the outlet’s editor, covered the protests in 2016 3/

The @northdakotamonitor.com is v balanced in its trial coverage. No one could argue they’re not covering ET's perspective. BUT they’re also clear that neither the sheriff nor a project executive knew much about Greenpeace involvement at Standing Rock. 4/

To me targeting the @northdakotamonitor.com is particularly revealing and dangerous. It’s not just @theguardian.com's more critical coverage under attack — this kind of propaganda is also undermining local reporters doing the increasingly endangered work of deeply covering their community 5/

Here’s reporting from @emdashsanders.bsky.social https://ky.social from Exxon Knew connecting the dots for @desmog.bsky.social between the “newspaper” and a huge donation from Energy Transfer’s Kelcy Warren 6/

And of course again here is @rachelleingang.bsky.social's great reporting — the best I saw on jury selection in Energy Transfer v Greenpeace 7/

You may know this, but ETP did wild psyops and propaganda against not just Standing Rock but l'Eau est la Vie and Mariner East resistance. The fracking industry has longstanding front media sites that got involved and multiplied. Makes sense they'd do it now.

Yes! Me and reporter Will Parrish actually built on that reporting, here https://www.typeinvestigations.org/investigation/2020/02/12/a-canadian-energy-company-bought-an-oregon-sheriffs-unit/

I should have checked/assumed you knew this well! Oh wow, Nick Johnson is in your story, too. I stopped following this topic as closely after Camp White Pine went down bc most of us were traumatized and no one seemed to grasp the scale, bizarreness, and danger of this anti-resistance apparatus.

I skimmed the piece you linked to and it's hilariously formulaic in style and content to what I saw between 2012 and 2018 in PA fracking and ETP pipeline campaigns. Soros, focusing on individuals' backgrounds with their photos, conspiracies about funders. I have 0 question who's behind this.
