Oil Industry on a Propaganda Roll

What’s ExxonMobil’s motive for offering you to “test your knowledge about the oil and gas industry?” Is it:

a) Providing Americans the opportunity to educate themselves on the breadth of the industry.  This includes the value it provides to society, weighed fairly and objectively against its negatives: its subsidies; dependence on protection from the U.S. military; oil spills; contribution to climate change, ocean acidification and loss of biodiversity; aggressive litigation against damage claimants; lobbying to move acts of civil disobedience from misdemeanors to felonies; the eco-devastation associated with drilling; the fouling of pristine wildernesses; methane leakages; and lung damage?

or

b) Misleading Americans into believing that the industry is clean and sustainable, and that it’s operated to make life better and more convenient for everyone?

If you said a), you have what it takes to be loyal, jingoistic fool.
