CNN Uses #FakeVideo To Create #FakeNews
That’s right. CNN is not using video of a coal mine’s actions. The video, rather, is from the Animas River in Colorado that was devastated by corrupt and incompetent EPA officials who were never called to account for the malfeasance and then the agency reneged (I guess I can use that word again without sending people to their safe space) on a promise to remediate the damage:
The Obama administration exits with an ugly environmental blot on its record after failing to hold itself financially accountable for the Gold KingMine spill, but Republicans are hoping President-elect Donald Trump will clean up the mess.
In one of its final moves before President Obama leaves office, the Environmental Protection Agency refused to pay 73 claims totaling $1.2 billion filed by tribes, farmers, river-rafters and local governments from the August 2015 wastewater spill, citing sovereign immunity under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).
Western lawmakers were floored by Friday’s decision, pointing to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy’s numerous assurances that the agency would take responsibility for the damage caused by the EPA-led crew, which unleashed 3 million gallons of mustard-colored contamination into the Animas and San Juan rivers and three states.
