Trump’s new EPA policy is raising a few eyebrows:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration mandating EPA scientific studies, data undergo review by political staff before public release

The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein, for one, isn’t too pleased about it. After all, it can be downright dangerous to let science get politicized:
science isn't science when it's pushed through a political filter https://t.co/BVnFwSnuCF
— Sam Stein (@samstein) January 25, 2017
Is that so? Could’ve fooled us. Guess it depends on who controls the filter, huh?

your assuming EPA has been non-political which is far from true

As if Obama's 'science' efforts weren't hyper-political

Science, especially on #climatechange , is almost always pushed through a political filter.

Seriously. For how many years have Democrats and the Left been politicizing the weather? For how many years have they been brandishing “science” as a weapon against anyone who dared question their policies?
Oh, hey, speaking of Democrats:
This is not how science works. https://t.co/Lya7pSIa04

Uh-huh.

Screaming "the science is settled!" isn't how science works either. pic.twitter.com/00sTB5uZBo

Nope, it isn’t.
The Left has no credibility when it comes to science so long as they insist on selectively ignoring inconvenient truths.
We’ll leave you with this food for thought:
Beware of anyone who tells you that scientists should be free of civilian oversight https://t.co/ptHDWS3wBY pic.twitter.com/jjWcA5pcC4

Update:
Gotta say it: The Obama EPA stopped scientists from talking to the press too. Scientists were on the same side so they raised no fuss /1

A voice of sanity.
Politicizing the EPA (or other agencies) is apparently only a problem when a Republican is in the White House. https://t.co/HtJmbSQMMu
