Document Summary
The media coverage should be better when covering the trump administration. Administration put out a budget where the office of environmental justice at the environmental. Protection agency would be eliminated, which measures the impact of many industrial sites in one community. The media should be investigating why this agency should stay open by going to communities where there is pollution and investigating why so many of the residents there have an increased risk of asthma and cancer. Msnbc should send a reporter to one of these communities, where there is mountaintop coal mining nearby, and speak to some of the residents about their health by asking if they have cancer or asthma. Recently, congress used the congressional review act, to annul a regulation that prohibited coal companies from dumping coal waste in streams. Most republicans supported the repeal of this regulation and the media should investigative the amount of money they received from coal companies during the last election.
