Shortly after an Islamist extremist butchered at least eight innocent people in New York City, Forbes editor Halah Touryalai decided to take a swipe at EPA administrator Scott Pruitt. The reason? Pruitt recently quoted from the Bible in order to explain his decision to bar scientists who receive federal grants from serving on independent science advisory committees.
[TWEET OF THE FORBES EDITOR]
Here's what Pruitt actually said: In the book of Joshua there is a story about Joshua leading the people of Israel into the promised land after Moses passed away. He added, And Joshua says to the people of Israel choose this day whom youre going to serve. And I would say to you this is sort of like the Joshua Principle that as it relates to grants to this agency, you are going to have to choose either service on the committee to provide counsel to us in an independent fashion or you can choose grants, but you cannot do both."

Forbes used to be a decent financial/business news publication.
Maybe Scott Pruitt is there to Sunset the EPA ?
Forbes is pissed that their whole global warming/climate change/carbon credit exchange racket-scam is completely falling apart around them.
Indeed. Forbes was one of the few media outlets where you could count on a well-reasoned, small-government, conservative, libertarian, non-mainstream opinion.
What happened to them?
Quoting ancient wisdom and understanding what it has to teach us today is a trait of learned, thoughtful people.
I suppose they would have had no problem if he had quoted the Communist Manifesto!!!!
