Michelle Malkin "From the sound of it, the new Matt Damon film “Promised Land” might as well carry the following disclaimer: “This vilification of the U.S. oil and gas industry is brought to you by the friendly folks at Foreign Oil™."
The author quotes from from this Heritage article:
"Normally Hollywood takes a skeptical tone toward the motives of big business and refuses to be used to push greedy corporate interests… unless those interests are financing their films."
Damon's 'Promised Land' Uses Money from OPEC Member to Trash American Oil Companies "The movie presents American oil companies as greedy corporations that trash and pollute small-town America in attempts to extract oil and gas from shale formations. Yet, because fracking has been proven environmentally sound in the real world, the movie suggests oil companies might be planting "doom-saying" environmentalists in order to undercut the legitimacy of environmental voices all-together."....
The author quotes from from this Heritage article:
The creators of Promised Land have gone to absurd lengths to vilify oil and gas companies, as Scribe’s Michael Sandoval noted Wednesday. Since recent events have demonstrated the relative environmental soundness of hydraulic fracturing – a technique for extracting oil and gas from shale formations – Promised Land’s script has been altered to make doom-saying environmentalists the tools of oil companies attempting to discredit legitimate “fracking” concerns.

"U.S. oil and gas companies are now using fracking techniques to get natural gas well: Cheniere Energy is about to start exporting 2.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from Louisiana. Since the UAE ranks sixth-worldwide in natural gas reserves, 2.2 billion cubic feet a day flooding the market from Louisiana cannot be welcome news."
This won't be the first time for fracking as Hollywood's newest villain. Remember this ‘Rizzoli and Isles’ episode called, ‘Dirty Little Secrets’?
"The plot featured an ex-Blackwater agent, masquerading as a yoga guru, who kills a vegan student and a professor in order to hide his drilling for natural gas from shale. This episode was a triple decker for left-wing stereotypes."

Fracking replaces, pharmaceuticals, Wal Mart, insurance companies, developers, the CIA, the Army and a host of others that this country can not do without in real life. (Will Islamic radicals ever be cast as bad guys in a movie?)
So...Hollywood's distaste is mainly toward American "big oil" and not foreign "big oil", eh?
