Kent Robertson: Chevron's Chief Disinformer


Kent Robertson (pictured), Chevron’s chief spokesperson, in an interview with Steve Foley of the Minority Report April 22, 2008:

“An objective evaluation of the facts shows that Texaco Petroleum behaved responsibly in Ecuador”

Objective evaluation of the facts? Coming from the oil giant’s chief disinformer?

And Texaco acted responsibly?

Check out this 1988 Texaco memo entitled “Offer of Bribe to Auditors”

Or this 1972 Texaco memo entitled "Reporting of Environmental Incidents"

You be the judge.
