What I posted DID explain why the trees survived. Where's YOUR evidence for the use of DEW?
You keep referring to photos that don't 'prove' anything, and your conspiracy theory masters continue to lead you around by your under-educated credulous nose.
You flit from one conspiracy theory to another without ever proving conspiracy. what's going on in LV, or did you lose interest in that?
As for Atkinson?

If Sharyl Attkisson’s Such a Fair Reporter, Why Is Right-Wing Media Defending Her?
By Terry Krepel

Since former CBS correspondent Sharyl Attkisson revealed herself to be an anti-Obama, conservative-leaning reporter, the Media Research Center has had her back, defending her by ignoring the shoddy nature of her reporting. Which raises an important question: This defense by the MRC and other right-wing media outlets undermines any claim Attkisson might have to being a fair and balanced reporter.
Needless to say, Bozell and Graham don’t mention that Attkisson’s post-CBS journalism has appeared exclusively in conservative-leaning media outlets like the Daily Signal (operated by the Heritage Foundation) and Sinclair Broadcasting (which infuses the local news broadcasts of the TV stations it owns with conservative bias). And they refuse to admit one glaring fact:
If rabid right-wing political operatives like themselves are running to Attkisson’s defense, she cannot possibly be “playing it pretty straight” or be “a fairly objective journalist.” Objective and fair reporting, it seems, is something the MRC would never understand.
But Bozell and Graham aren’t the only MRC employees trying to ignore inconvenient facts about Attkisson’s bias. In a Nov. 10 NewsBusters post, Melissa Mullins fawned over the party being held for Attkisson’s new book, Stonewalled, which included “members in the media, whistleblowers from other scandals, and the outgoing House Oversight committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa.” Mullins highlighted Issa’s speech lavishing praise on Attkisson:
Darrell Issa, who has been just as much a key player in the Benghazi investigation by chairing the House Oversight Committee, also spoke to the crowd. “My committee is a desert island if not for a press that will look at stuff fairly and scrutinize it,” Issa said. “In many of our investigations, Fox News led; CBS, on occasion, was there and made a big difference; on very rare occasions ABC; never NBC.”
Investigations, he said, worked only “if the press, and particularly reporters, will go out and meet people and get the story from whistleblowers and then report it and give them a fair hearing.”
Mullins expresses no curiosity about why a powerful congressman is attending the book party for a reporter who covers him. She doesn’t mention that Attkisson uses her book to praise Issa and defend him against the not-unreasonable accusation that Issa’s targeting of the Obama administration is politically motivated — or that much of Attkisson’s recent reporting has depended on leaks from Issa’s office, which indicates an unusually close relationship between them.
If Issa were a Democrat and he attended the book party for, say, Chuck Todd — not to mention regularly feeding information to him — the MRC would be howling about the unseemly mingling of media politics. But because this is Darrell Issa and Sharyl Attkisson, the MRC looks the other way.
Again: If Attkisson wasn’t doing conservative-friendly things, the MRC wouldn’t be so eager and desperate to defend her. If Attkisson had gone after a Republican president the way she has President Obama, Bozell and Graham would not be so effusively singing her praises.
