Do they ALL argue like 13-year olds?

My understanding is that the correction was to the length of the meeting, not the fact a meeting took place between Pruitt and a CEO of a company that produces pesticides and that the EPA decided to not ban its use or something.
Earlier this summer, he made-up a meeting that Administrator Pruitt had, and then deliberately discarded information that refuted his inaccurate story â ultimately prompting a nation-wide correction

Said otherwise: âGovernment attacks the press.â Heck of a time we are living in. This would never, ever be allowed to happen in the United States of America.

Exactly - the key words you typed being âhe actually went to.â Aside from the ludicrously over the top vitriol from a supposedly government agency, it doesnât make sense to attack someone who was physically present when all the agency can do is to say that they did some fly byâs and didnât see much of anything.

My gut reaction was about that tone as well. I can not recall reading any âAttack Dogâ memo/response from any federal agency in the past. Defensive, yes. Usually objective sounding, but leaden with positive spin. Pure Attack Dog? Seems like another new low breached by the Trump administration.

Hey Houstonians: We know you have toxic sludge seeping into your homes, and believe us, weâll be right there to help you all. But first, we really need to send off this mean tweet about a reporter. Please be patient cause itâs kind of a long rant, but this is Action Item number one on our list. Action Item number two is responding to any fake news Climate Change stories. But, after that, after that weâll be right thereâŚwait, oh rightâŚwe may need to console those poor CEOs of the petrochemical industry. Thatâs right. That is priority.

Why does our EPA lie and attack people for exposing its lies, furthering endangering Americans with its criminal destruction ?
Have terrorists seized the EPA?

Hey, give Pruitt a break â heâs been on vacation for the last couple of weeks. Donât know why anyone would think heâd send someone down to look at it.
Besides, if you donât believe in climate change, why would you believe that a few chemicals in the water would make people sick.
Every damned Dept/Agency under 45 has become a Ministry of Magical Thinking on __________ (fill in the blank with âEPAâ, âEducationâ, âEnergyâ, as appropriate).

So they havenât hired anybody at the EPA except an Attack Dog PR staff.
when has EPA ever issued such a hectoring bit of political cant prior to Pruittâs appointment?
Itâs entirely consistent with the real estate development career of Donald Trump, which was built with relentless PR campaigns consisting of lies, bullshit, exaggeration, spin, fraud, deceit, and attacking the media when they criticized him or his projects.
Now, late in his career, he doesnât even build anything himself; he just licenses his âname,â which is the ultimate in completely valueless âbranding.â

I keep thinking of the State Department summaries of Trumpâs meetings with foreign leaders. They are about 2 sentences long.
I guess ya gotta pick your priorities.
Just curious, is it possible for a reporter to sue the EPA for liable?

[/quote]Pruitt conceded to the demands of the pesticide company in a much shorter period of time than reported by the AP.

Never. In fact, I wonder if theyâre violating his civil rights here.

âHereâs the truth: through aerial imaging, EPA has already conducted initial assessments at 41 Superfund sites â 28 of those sites show no damage, and 13 have experienced flooding. This was left out of the original story,â
This is a powerful argument. Why does the press only report the bad news and not the good news about the sites that havenât been flooded? Itâs just like on 9/11. The lying press focused all this attention on the one terrorist attack that occurred. Do you know how many cities werenât attacked on that day? Did we hear a word about them? Fake news!
