A one-sided attack piece like "FrackNation" doesn't add much to the conversation.

More than anything, "FrackNation" underscores the sheer complexity of a process that offers a financial lifeline to struggling farmers.

FrackNation starts from a bogus and willfully cordoned off point-of-view, and exhibits a desire to grind axes more than uncover truth.

Its strongest and most interesting case against Gasland is not so much with refute of its claims as with address of its impact and what this says about modern journalism.

Six years on this documentary is as necessary as it was then because, if anything, the disinformation campaign against hydraulic fracturing specifically and fossil fuel extraction and use is as entrenched as ever.

It's bogus - the point is to smear the Gasland movie which is an actual accounting of the impacts of fracking across the US - this guy is just a scam artist.
