Why is the Media Suddenly So Interested in the EPA?
Funny what happens when a Republican wins the White House. The media mob suddenly develops an interest in transparency and fiscal responsibility. This week—in a story that has been developing over several months—all eyes are on the Environmental Protection Agency.
For eight years, President Obama’s two EPA administrators—Lisa Jackson and Gina McCarthy—received very little scrutiny from major news organizations.
Reporters and opinion writers overlooked their misconduct at the EPA: excessive travel costs; blatant disregard of congressional oversight and lying to Congress; deleted texts and phony email accounts; colluding with activists who sought to use the agency to impose their costly, ideological agenda.

The EPA was the globalist Trojan Horse under the Obama admin .
Darn rights they are going to be upset when they see it burnt to the ground because President Trump and over 60 million voters are not buying it .
There are far too many Departments and the first one gone should be the EPA . Core services can be placed within Energy and the resources of individual states can used to cover off the rest because they are in place already .
The MSM left the EPA alone because they carried out the demands of MSM owners . How many EPA people flew to global warming conferences for years during the Obama era (hundred’s ) and not a peep .How many EPA bankrolled lobbyist’s tagged along ? How many members of the media partied with EPA staff for years ?
Yeah it sucks when the party tax payers are paying for ends .
Keep going Mr. Pruitt . The death threats are a compliment .
I can still remember all the fuss and usial liberal whining when Reagan chose James Watts as his Interior Secretary and his connections with industry but nothing from these same little popo heads when Clinton chose Bruce (Babbling)Babbit as his Interior Secretary and his membership in the liberal League of Conservation Voters and how Babbit tried to have the Biological Serve exempt from the Freedom of Information Act(FIA)for their radical Wildlands Project and the Buffalo Commons
From what I see in the UK Scott Pruitt is doing a great job, but when you they going to sort out the crooks on NOAA?
