polls show battle lines being drawn between disinformation and
awareness. Disinformation has healthy financial backing. Awareness faces
austerity, if not poverty.
A flash of light: the L.A. Times' recent online poll has 25% of respondents saying yes to construction of Keystone XL, while 75% say no.
