Skiillgee,
It's fascism; that is, the merger of big business and government; or more precisely, big government sponsoring and controlling big business (and large national groups like labor unions and professional guilds). What it boils down to is that it is our money (taxpayers) that is propagandizing all of this illegal ponzi scheme hoax.
Take Generalissimo Electric, for example. They will control the U.S. 'carbon trade' market w/ hefty 'service fees' drawn off of each transaction. That's billions, if not trillions of dollars earned for doing absolutely nothing. It makes sense, of course, that they are willing to turn their media outlets (NBC and all it's subsidiaries) loose to propagandize the ideas that will lead to their new multibillion dollar cash cow (at our expense).
It's worth noting that  Jeffery Immelt (CEO of GE) is one of the current administration's chief energy advisors. The man who's energy company stands to make billions of dollars of (untaxed) profit is advising the government on public energy policy (and providing biased media propaganda that would make Joseph Goebbels proud).

'Big Oil' profits are a mere fraction of what governments take out of fuel sales.
Exxon, for example, explores, drills, extracts, refines, ships, and retails petroleum and makes about 5 cents per gallon profit. The U.S. Federal Government does nothing, and makes about 18.4 cents per gallon (state median tax is ~25 cents / gallon).
The governments are the villains, Exxon (and everybody else) is the victim of price gouging by the governments. The FEDs take 3 times more than the companies, the states 4 times more; and neither of them contributes anything whatsoever to the business.
Note: Exxon also pays almost as much to the federal government in Income tax as it's profits equal. Apparently 300% of 'obscene big oil profits' isn't enough to satisfy the government price gougers.

Profit per gallon:
'big bad evil greedy lying murdering oil tyrants' : $0.05
Federal Government - $0.184 + income tax equal to company profit.
State Governments: $0.25 + applicable state income taxation.

So who really are the villains in this scenario?
I know who I think is the villains.

You see, left wing radicals have to have a villain to focus the hatred and anger of their base against in order to rally support in the public sector to take over private resources.
The villain de jour is 'big bad evil health insurance companies' because the fascists are now in the process of finalizing the nationalization of the U.S. medical and insurance industries. Doctors were hit too (remember those press conferences talking about pediatricians ripping kids tonsils out for cash, and surgeons chopping off diabetic's feet?).
When the Taxman-Malarkey bill (aka tax and raid) hits the senate debate you will see a huge spike of negative press aimed at the 'big bad evil energy companies' again (like there was leading up to the house vote).
When H.R. 875 rolls around, it will be the 'big bad evil food companies' that are the villain.
Etc., etc., etc.

Friends don't let friends use booleans.
