The True Cost of Chevron Pt. 1

Two weeks ago, Chevron convened their yearly meeting of shareholders, where they discussed their record-breaking profits from 2008, and the future of their cash-flush company. But some of the things that weren't talked about in that meeting include the company's support of murderous dictators in Nigeria and Burma, their push for increased drilling off America's coastlines, and their lobbying efforts to get the government to approve more of their coal processing plants. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about the real history of Chevron - the truth that the company doesn't want its shareholders to know about - with Antonia Juhasz, author of the book "The Tyranny of Oil."
