By Arthur Alpert Look for the Albuquerque Journal to run an Op Ed soon that extols the oil and gas industry for its outstanding safety record, in particular. How do I know this? I don’t. But the newspaper’s pattern makes it a sure thing. Where oil and gas are concerned, the editors consistently run opinion […]

By Arthur Alpert A publisher coined the phrase “without fear or favor.” When Adolph Ochs acquired The New York Times in 1896, he promised readers it would be his “earnest aim to … give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interest involved.” Obviously, the Albuquerque Journal takes a different […]

Pay No Attention to that Pesky Memo
May 28th, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier Yet another column by Marita Noon made its way into the Albuquerque Journal. What’s interesting about this one (“Renewable Energy Can’t Compete With Fossil Fuels”, May 19), is that more than half-way into the piece, Noon criticizes media for giving too much credence to a 10-page right-wing strategy memo that was part […]

The Curious Tweet by Marita K. Noon
May 9th, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier “Interesting that Marita Noon would tweet this story exposing what her ilk are up to,” a colleague wrote in an email. Interesting – and curious — indeed. In her usual simplistic style, extractive industry booster and Albuquerque Journal column contributor Marita K. Noon (who uses the Twitter handle “energyrabbit”), tweeted just a […]

Greasing and Oiling the Journal Narrative
November 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier I’d like to borrow a phrase aptly coined by my colleague, Arthur Alpert, when he wrote that the Journal has engaged in a “narrative” against solar energy (through its overkill running of Solyndra stories, casting a “guilt by association” pall on otherwise noncontroversial solar stories that pop up on business and news […]

Extractive Industry Advocacy as a Useful Tool
July 28th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier We at ABQJournalWatch.com have written often to complain about the Journal’s use of “essays” by extractive energy cheerleader Marita K. Noon. Yet another pro-nuclear/coal, anti-solar/wind piece by the executive director of Energy Makes America Great, Inc. appeared on Thursday’s Op-Ed page (July 28), entitled “Renewables Mean Higher Power Bills.” Noon’s article makes […]

By Denise Tessier Albuquerque resident Eugene Aronson made a timely point in a letter to the editor that ran in the Albuquerque Journal Jan. 25, saying he didn’t understand “how the idea that one person’s opinion is as valid as anyone else’s came about.” He added: If I am deathly ill, I certainly would not […]

Gushing About Oil
September 30th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier Marita K. Noon never met an extractive energy source she didn’t like. The one-time executive director of a pro-energy group called CARE now touts herself as the “executive vice president” of CARE’s “advocacy arm”, simplistically called Energy Makes America Great, Inc. Just how wonderful are the extractive energy industries? Well, here’s Noon’s […]

When Honesty Appears Missing From the Policy
March 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier It seems almost too easy to criticize the Albuquerque Journal for running yet another Marita K. Noon column, because we’ve pointed out her errors, simplistic assertions and lack of expert credentials in the past. But the Journal’s Op-Ed (opposite editorial) page carries her again today, this time with a convoluted essay headlined […]
