As if the media hadn't already covered itself in shame this week by using 9/11 to malign President Trump, it is now using Hurricane Florence as a cudgel with which to beat him.
Yesterday, The Washington Post's editorial board ran a piece titled, "Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicit."
In fact there are many questions as to what extent human activity is warming the Earth, though there is a verifiable warming trend, but that's obviously not the most egregious charge made in the editorial.
To say that President Trump is complicit for this particular hurricane is a stretch, a distortion, a falsity and a swirling storm of mindless bombast.
The goal of the editorial, if not the paper, is to convince Americans that Donald Trump is the enemy of the people.
"With depressingly ironic timing," writes the Post's editorial board, "The Trump administration announced Tuesday a plan to roll back federal rules on methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is the main component in natural gas. Drillers and transporters of the fuel were supposed to be more careful about letting it waft into the atmosphere, which is nothing more than rank resource waste that also harms the environment. The Trump administration has now attacked all three pillars of President Barack Obama's climate-change plan."
Talk show hosts, journalists and now editorial boards have tossed aside all pretext and morphed into hysterical activists, lecturing, hectoring and panicking at every turn.
