New documents shared exclusively with MRC Business just exposed the latest example of elitist media hacks violating every modicum of journalistic integrity to genuflect to the Biden administration’s whims and wishes.

Forbes contributor Rhett Buttle and his associate Abdullah Kahn offered to delay a story schmoozing President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan on his “environmental justice” focus until his team had a chance to address the catastrophic February 3, 2023, train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, according to emails obtained by the Functional Government Initiative.

Given what has happened since Palestine, OH, the only people to have benefitted from all this are the ones who think big quarterly earnings for hedge funds and “too big to fail” mergers are the only two answers to every economic question.
