EPA Document Proposes to Eliminate Clean Power Plan 'In Its Entirety"

Breitbart recently obtained a 43 page document that outlines how the EPA is going to repeal the CPP. Trump, spurring this EPA plan reform, signed an executive order in March, ordering a review of the CPP (environmental plan formed by the Obama Administration). In additon to releasing EPA documents bashing the Obama Administration for their "environmental legacy", Trump also pulled America out of the Paris Climate Accord (agreement between various nations to lower amount of greenhouse gases). This article could easily be considered biased merely on the fact that all it really does is try to tarnish the reputation of the Obama Administration; the reporter only pulled the negatives from the CPP, he never once mentioned the positives of the plan. In addition, the reporter also used phrases such as "to undo the unlawful approach the previous administration engaged in", "Obama acted unilaterally without the consent of Congress and the American people to implement his climate agenda", and "While we can’t comment on the authenticity of the document, what we can say is that the Obama Administration pushed the bounds of their authority so far that the Supreme Court issued a stay".  Thus, the representation of biased information easily skews the reader's view and what they choose to believe about specific policies and how they are implemented.

  1. One of my favorite parts (and I type that sarcastically) is that the article cites an opinion piece as part of its evidence... ugh.
