"Amid the many news releases issued each week by the Environmental Protection Agency, a few stand out. Such as these:
• “Politico Misleads On Trump EPA’s Progress Cleaning Up Superfund Sites.”
• “The Hill [newspaper] Gets It Wrong On New EPA FOIA Regulation.”
• “National Correspondent Misleads on Wheeler’s Remarks.”
While the Trump administration is not known for velvety smooth relations with the news media, federal agencies are far more likely to ignore reporters than to officially scold them. Not the EPA. Reporters whom the agency deems to have misreported can expect to hear about it, and not just through a polite phone call or an email requesting a correction.
Instead, the EPA goes public.
“A reader of Politico would have been rightfully confused about the results” of an inspector general’s report about a Superfund task force, the EPA declared in a June 24 release. “It is only fair to ask why they chose to ignore the key findings of this report.”"
