Under Trump, the media elites treat the executive branch as an evil empire, but under Biden, journalists were so eager to help promote the Democrats that they sometimes offered their sources the ability to edit their articles to their liking.
New documents shared exclusively with MRC Business just exposed the latest example of elitist media hacks violating every modicum of journalistic integrity to genuflect to the Biden administration’s whims and wishes.
Forbes contributor Rhett Buttle and his associate Abdullah Kahn offered to delay a story schmoozing President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan on his “environmental justice” focus until his team had a chance to address the catastrophic February 3, 2023, train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, according to emails obtained by the Functional Government Initiative.
The incident had led to a controlled explosion and the spewing of hazardous fumes into the atmosphere, with reports of groundwater damage, dead animals and health issues circulating. Both Buttle and Khan attempted to take some of the media pressure off of the Biden administration by postponing publication of the interview until the political heat died down, even though they had been in communication with the EPA about the interview since at least December 2022.
