The Guardian has run a piece attacking ExxonMobil for its stubborn, selfish refusal to stop being an oil business.

Here’s how the oil giant responded when asked for a quote:

“ExxonMobil will not respond to Guardian inquiries because of its lack of objectivity on climate change reporting demonstrated by its campaign against companies that provide energy necessary for modern life, including newspapers.”

You listening, Shell, BP, Statoil, and all you other craven payers of Danegeld to the environmental lobby?

That’s the way to do your corporate communications: tell it like it is!
