Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler escalated a dust-up with the media Monday by accusing New York Times reporters of colluding with a major environmental group by retweeting a “made-up” quote of his.
“Makes me wonder if the two reporters for the New York Times were colluding with the Sierra Club,” Wheeler said Wednesday, addressing the agency’s Scientific Advisory Board.
He told the board’s members to use “caution” and “to be careful what you read in the media” after the incident.
The controversy started when EPA slammed a reporter from Yahoo News on Tuesday, saying he made up a quote from a National Press Club address he gave on Monday.
The story reported that Wheeler said the news media does a disservice by reporting on global warming.
EPA clarified that what Wheeler said Monday was:
“The media does a disservice to the American public and sound policy-making by not informing the public of the progress this nation has made.”
Wheeler called the Yahoo News story, which he said was then retweeted by two New York Times reporters, “made up.”
The EPA did not identify the specific reporters, but the climate reporters Kendra Pierre-Louis and Lisa Friedman retweeted the tweet in question.
Later, the Sierra Club used the story in a tweet of its own.
Wheeler told the science advisers to come to him directly if they have any questions about what they read in the media.

I see where the Sierra Club has its own Airliner it flies to certain places like the Galapagos where Darwin came up with his Crack-Pot Theory and they still use Fossil Fuels to keep their HQ heated/cooled and i bet their leader don’t travel by a flying carpet and neither dose the chief editor for the New York Pravda
During the Obama administration the Sierra Club wrote polices that the EPA imported and made into law. This was illegal. Colluding with the news media is consistent with their past behavior.
The NYT …. all the news fit to make up . Is it any wonder that the
legacy news organizations credibility is in free fall ?
Once the pipeline of leaked information dried up for some in the MSM they have
stooped to just making crap up .
The NYT times is doomed unless they dump the propaganda label they have so readily earned .
AAAAAAhhhhhhhh
COLLUSION
Bring back Mueller
even he has not outlived his uselessness
Maybe Cherry Nadler might get involved
if he can maintain consciousness
Maybe Hillary would want to yell
Russia, Rush-uh, Rush-yuh
She might even get to Rush Limbaugh
if she hysterically yells enough
Especially if the corrupt MSM
keeps quoting her drunken ravings.
There is no doupt that the New York Pravda and the Sierra Ckub are partners in crime the Sierra Club has always been bad since it was founded
