      Why not just pause for a moment before fomenting hysteria? Creating a panic serves no useful purpose: probably even ultimately helps Trumppic.twitter.com/eTvDjsW08p

          It is *not* the same. Obama was not a climate change denier. With Obama, we were not concerned that the science would be silenced.

          Nobody argues that it's "the same," just that a falsehood-ridden frenzy was stoked in this particular instance.

          Media doesn't stop and learn about policy or how things were done under Obama(mostly ignored). This is just mass confirmation bias.

          Most of the outrage is just a spotlight effect. Normal practices are now "taboo" & "Hitlerian"-but only when Trump carries them out

          The same Standard/Best practices accepted under Obama are being deemed by the narrative-driven media as fascistic under Trump.

          Good point.. However, I saw yesterday that Trump wants to cut 1 billion from the EPA budget. Did Obama do that? I'm not sure

          This is where the agencies' media blackout is having an effect, because now even the "this is normal" statements come via leak.

          e.g. the EPA grant freezes caught even states (the top grant recipients) by surprise, fostering impression that it was a big deal.
