<\/a><\/p>\n If you’re a regular reader of this blog or any other reasonable media outlet, you probably don’t need a reminder of how badly Fox News sucks. Well, okay, here’s another. In this amazing article<\/a>, Media Matters breaks down ten falsehoods propagated by Fox News about the EPA, whom they lovingly refer to as agency “job terrorists” who are “strangling America.”<\/p>\n Wow!<\/p>\n When it comes to stuff like this neo-conservative propaganda, my heart both sinks (when I think of folks actually buying into this stuff) and I throw up my arms in disgust (wondering how we can stop this nightmare from continuing to spew out lies and hatred of all things reasonable, including the EPA).<\/p>\n Anyway, this great article<\/a> gives good insights into how desperate are Fox News attempts to brand the EPA a menace to America. Most of their attempts are outrageous lies, including the following ten:<\/p>\n 1. EPA’s Job Is “Done”<\/a><\/p>\n 2. EPA Is Implementing A “Job-Killing” Agenda<\/a><\/p>\n 3. The Obama Administration Has Launched A “War On Coal”<\/a><\/p>\n 4. Coal Plant Emissions Aren’t Linked To Asthma<\/a><\/p>\n 5. Air Pollution Limits Threaten “A Fifth Of America’s Electricity Generating Capacity”<\/a><\/p>\n 6. EPA Wants “230,000 New Employees” To Implement Climate Rules<\/a><\/p>\n 7. Small Businesses Pay “$4,100 Bucks Per Employee” To Comply With EPA Regulations<\/a><\/p>\n 8. Obama Could Suspend EPA Rules With An Executive Order<\/a><\/p>\n 9. Obama Administration’s Vehicle Emission Regulations Are Unprecedented<\/a><\/p>\n 10. EPA Is “Regulating Milk Spills”<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
