Edited and written by one man and funded entirely by the oil giant Chevron, the Richmond Standard runs stories hostile to environmental advocates
Mike Aldax has been called a corporate prostitute, a propagandist for big oil, an apologist for pollution, Voldemort and more. But hed rather you call him a journalist.
Every morning, after all, he drives across the Golden Gate bridge to Richmond, a gritty town on San Francisco bay, and spends the day seeking out local stories, interviewing people, attending events and then writing them up for a news site called the Richmond Standard.
