Typical Bush lie accepted by GOP-friendly media.
From the current Sierra magazine...

"When confronted by accusations that energy companies like Enron unduly influenced the Bush administrations energy policy, the White House PR machine tried to hide behind the nearest environmentalist: "The President thinks that access should be across the board, and that's why the Sierra Club....met repeatedly with the energy task force." -White House spokesperson Ari Fleischer, January 22, 2002

In fact, Sierra Club representatives never met with the energy task force while it was crafting it's industry-friendly plan. (We did meet twice with Bush administration officials from the group-AFTER THE PLAN WAS RELEASED.) Vice President Cheney and his staff met six times with Enron officials, including then-CEO Kenneth Lay, WHILE THE PLAN WAS BEING DRAFTED." (my emphasis)

Funny that the "liberal" media didn't bother to check out the White House claim that they were trying to be open to environmentalists while drafting the plan. They are nothing more lately than an extension of the White House PR machine, probably as an overreaction to the charges that they have a liberal bias.
