Video in question:

Aren't his 15 minutes of fame long expired?

And what is the point? A documentary filmmaker agreed to take money from a questionable source so all environmentalists are tools of the middle east investors?

It nakedly reveals the anti-American, anti-capitalist streak
that lies in we eco-terrorists!

Last time he was proven to be a lying deceptive fuckstain, so yeah. Not surprised at all

I heard this on the radio last night and was curious as how it would be spun.

Having been around the industry"" (or more precis, people involved) that this happened is not really a shock.
That Ed Begley Jr. was involved is what saddens and surprises.

I'll bite... that what happened? What saddens and surprises you?

The people one gets into bed with raising money for a project.
Ed Begley is considered the "real deal" in regards to environmental issues.

If I can put food into the mouths of hungry children, I will take money from murderers. Without editorial input or leveraged funding, the idea that a person delivering a good they feel morally strong about becomes moot. If a convicted pedophile wanted to give his money to a good cause, should we not allow him to do it?

What is sad about someone accepting money to do something they feel strongly about?
