Watchdog Says Schultz Misrepresented its Reporting, Facts about Keystone XL Letter

Photo Credit: APMSNBC’s Ed Schultz featured a Nebraska Watchdog.org story on his “Ed Show” on Friday about the Keystone XL oil pipeline but Schultz’s words didn’t match the reporting the group has done on the issue this week, the group said Saturday.

During the opening to his show, Schultz put on screen Wathdog’s May 2013 story about the $27.4 million lobbyists spent in Nebraska in 2011-2012. That figure includes $700,000 spent by TransCanada lobbying for the pipeline it wants to build across America. He then cut to former Sen. Abbie Cornett, a Republican, saying there was heavy lobbying on both sides, Watchdog reports.
