I am writing in support of HCN’s coverage of
the Bush administration’s attack on the environment. I
suppose, at one point, wanting a healthy habitat for human beings
was a nonpartisan issue. Unfortunately, it seems these days if you
care about anything that could be vaguely termed “social equity” or
“conservation,” you’re automatically a pinko-commie liberal.
I think it is important for news outlets to illustrate
cause-and-effect relationships between legislation and resulting
environmental effects. I hope you continue to do so, while many
other news outlets continue to gloss over the ruinous effects of
basically every piece of legislation passed under our current
leadership. You folks aren’t the ones doing the polarizing
(it’s that dude in the White House).
