Following a trend from\u2064 the first Trump administration, the EPA aims to emphasize not\u2062 only its achievements under the leadership\u200b of Lee Zeldin but also to promptly \u2062address\u2063 perceived inaccuracies in portrayals of its actions. The agency\u200b criticized \u200bthe Washington Post, claiming it \u2064has become aligned \u200cwith\u200b a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">radical left agenda<\/a> and accused the newspaper of neglecting its duty to investigate on behalf of the public. Central \u200bto the controversy is the EPA&#8217;s review of \u200cBiden-era contracts linked to a group associated with Stacey Abrams, which the agency alleges received substantial funding promises. The Post \u200chas countered\u2063 these claims, stating that the \u2064EPA&#8217;s portrayal of the\u2064 connections is exaggerated. the EPA is reviving its aggressive strategy\u2064 to contest \u200bmedia narratives it deems biased or incorrect.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">EPA goes scorched-earth against media bias, Washington Post<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1999474\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Environmental-Protection-Agency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>&rsquo;s press office, taking a page from the team that ran it during the first Trump administration, is calling out media bias that it believes crosses the line into lying about its policies.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA has turned its guns on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/newsreleases\/epa-press-office-fact-checks-washington-posts-coverage-waste-abuse-taxpayer-dollars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>Washington Post<\/em><\/a>  as one of its first targets, stating that it will be just as quick to call out bias as it will accomplishments of the agency headed under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Lee-Zeldin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Lee Zeldin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3339351\/alejandro-mayorkas-ripped-over-sanctuary-cities-claim\/\">Mayorkas ripped for claiming he fought &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sanctuary-cities-ignored-ice-to-free-22000-criminal-migrants-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"\u2018Sanctuary cities\u2019 ignored ICE to free 22,000 criminal migrants - Washington Examiner\">sanctuary cities&#038;rsquo<\/a>;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3338511\/trump-joins-roosevelt-kennedy-reagan-great-communicators-club\/\">Trump joins FDR, JFK, Reagan in &lsquo;Great Communicators&rsquo; club<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3337906\/lobbyist-dumped-over-alleged-racist-texts-was-top-democratic-donor\/\">Lobbyist dumped over alleged &#8216;racist&#8217; texts was top Democratic donor<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Targeting the <em>Post&rsquo;s<\/em> stories questioning the impact of Zeldin&rsquo;s savings as he follows the lead of Elon Musk&rsquo;s Department of Government Efficiency, the agency today said, &ldquo;The <em>Washington Post<\/em> has devolved into the radical left&rsquo;s own Pravda.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; EPA Press Office fact checks <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/washingtonpost?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@washingtonpost<\/a>: &ldquo;It should come as no surprise that they jump to toe the line and are quick to defend apparent cronyism instead of actually doing the work to investigate on behalf of the American public.
