I am surprised that the mainstream media isn’t pushing this story more. Given their liberal bent, and their angst about despoiling mother earth and all that, this story seems to fit right into their template of man’s destruction of the planet.
And the fact that this was an EPA clean up job would get us into areas of bureaucracy and governmental incompetence.
But perhaps due to who is president, the media don’t want to push this story??????
BINGO!!!!!
The legacy media doesn’t push this specific story b/c the EPA is the culprit.
The stories they are pushing are general “Mining pollutes” stories to gin up opposition to modern civilization.
>>Given their liberal bent, and their angst about despoiling mother earth and all that, this story seems to fit right into their template of man’s destruction of the planet.
Just another example of what happens When Liberal Causes Collide.
They love the planet, but they love the Big Government EPA more.
Just like the Blacks vs Gays issue. The Gays win, so the Black side of the story is a non-story. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
“But perhaps due to who is president, the media don’t want to push this story??????”
If George Bush was president every news segment would start with, “Today, August 16th, the 31’st day of the environmental disaster started by George Bush’s incompetent presidency, up to 40,000 fish have died. Downstream birth defects have already started in suburban America.”
The MSM/liberal view is that the EPA are the good guys no matter what. In their view, it would be better to shut down as many mines as possible to pre-emptively halt damage, and the EPA is useful for that.
As for government bureaucracy and incompetence, that doesn't register with them either. Liberal statists believe bigger government is better government, and some inefficiencies must be tolerated. Besides, big stupid government is union friendly, and liberals like that too. As icing on that cake, everyone knows that a government job is a secure job.
Most of your post was sarcasm, right?
The mainstream media does what Big Government wants. Ok, if Bush or another republican was in, they would be blaming him, but the EPA would magically be innocent.
They only care about pollution when it meets that criteria.
It doesn’t surprise me at all that EPA employees refuse to comment because they know they are protected by the ‘government’. I was a witness to such happenings for years. I remember one EPA follower telling me their instructions/orders were to what I called ‘harass first and we(EPA)will cover your ‘actions’.
Because “environmentalism” is about control, not environment. Since the EPA is a means of control, they’re not going to give it the scourging it deserves.
The pretend issue of despoiling mother earth is not the real issue.
Thus the enemedia and other lefties do not really care about despoiling mother earth by the government.
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution.”

No diff than the lack of feminists coming to the aid of Monica. Its their ox that is doing the goring.
