... we've really got to get back to writing about
Back To The Future. Some site with an "investigation"
budget should probably take it from here.
This is Cracked. While their writing is often a lot better than their clickbait headlines suggest, they are still primarily a comedy/culture based site. This story is way outside their usual style, and they know that.
Why isn't this story being covered by other reporters that do have experience investigating government, technology, the oil industry, etc? Cracked is reporting on this because it's important and the only coverage the larger media has given to the pipeline protests has ranged from "nothing" to "reading the police press release".
