New York Times accuses ‘right-wing’ Americans of exploiting Ohio disaster to unfairly ‘sow distrust’ in big government
American Thinker ^ | 18 Feb, 2023 | Olivia Murray

Who do these skeptic conservatives think they are to question Daddy EPA?

Memes, or cartoons in a digital format, stand alone as a medium of communication. In one image, one can clearly convey multi-faceted, or broad concepts to the viewer:

For writer Christine Haus at The New York Times though, memes like the one above are nothing more than slimy attempts by Republicans to “sow distrust” in big government. Yesterday, the outlet published Haus’s essay on the current environmental crisis in Ohio — yeah, you know, the one where government officials purposefully ignited some of the most carcinogenic materials known to man, and consequently the cloud layer looked like this:

Haus wrote:

Right-wing commentators have been particularly critical, using the crisis to sow distrust in government agencies.

The facts aren’t in yet (on purpose, by the powers that be), but...it’s “unfair” to distrust, i.e. to have your own opinion.

Evil propagandists at the NYT, but you knew that.

Here’s another play pretend propaganda piece. I wish the Right wing had the persuasive influence these communists think they do.

Pretty sure that it is now ‘safe and effective’ to say the government doesn’t need any assistance in lowering their standing. They’re doing just fine on their own. “Distrust” is being kind.

Because the EPA deeming poison water safe isn’t enough to distrust the corruption without our help

Ultimately the truth wins out but it is a process.

If we start to lie like them, we become them.................

Yeah, if only right? Still of the mind that only 10-15% of folks give a crap. Funny dog tiktoks and stuff.

Yeah, eventually the truth won out against the Nazis, too bad, six million had to die before it came out.

Government inaction to the mess in Ohio only confirmed what I already knew......these people are evil IMO.

And BTW, initially refusing Ohio’s disaster relief request was particularly despicable.

I am reminded of forty years ago when a PCB leak from an AC unit in Pryor OK polluted the Neosho river in Oklahoma.

After the leak was repaired, The Governor of the state assured everyone that it was safe to eat the fish out of the river by eating one for TV before a camera..

When the camera quit rolling, he spat the fish out and claimed it was “cold”.

Wavy Gravy and the rest of the Woodstock hippies are rolling over in their graves. Once the left gained power “Question Authority “ went right out the window. Now it’s Trust the Government.

So…ok we can’t talk about this environmental disaster because it will bring light to the government’s complete neglect of these people

…because it will cause people to see that the government can’t be trusted to do their job protecting citizens who have elected them to take care of us in these exact circumstances.

Sounds like an abused family protecting the abuser.

Can I mention that the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, who is in our lives without shame over things that don’t matter, wanting to ban natural gas in our homes and restaurants, has claimed no jurisdiction over this and is on his way to a long tax payer funded trip to Africa with celebrities to tell Africans what to do to protect their environment?

Well I did. I said it.

If the Feds and the MSM agree that something is so, than that is reason alone to check and double check their veracity.

How to explain the complete transformation of libs from being the most critical protesting loudmouths criticizing the government at every turn to now completely drinking the government’s Kool Aid. They are completely rudderless, unthinking, dangerous, and evil morons.

Ms Haus should realize that any “....distrust in government agencies” has been the result of past and present actions and statements of thos agencies.

yeah like the NYT would never, ever exploit a situation to attack Trump or other republicans- EVEN IF Trump had acted immediately to correct the issue- biden and ilk never acted UNTIL pressure became so great that they could no longer ignore it or risk looking like they didn;t care and were trying to cover it up by not reporting on it or working to fix the issue-

Cry us a river NYT!
