Even 60 Minutes has done a mea culpa for its 2009 hit piece on Chevron, now rightly collecting scalps over a concocted and failed left-wing scheme to fleece the oil giant via bogus charges of polluting rainforests in Ecuador.
With a recent federal court ruling that the scheme’s mastermind, leftist trial lawyer Steven Donziger, had blatantly violated RICO anti-racketeering statutes, you’d think all the far-flung parties to this debacle (which have included hedge funds and the likes of D.C. lobbying firm Patton Boggs) would have headed for the tall grass.
