Bill Weir, CNN Chief Climate Correspondent
This is *really* embarrassing for CNN. The "news" channel's lead "Chief Climate Correspondent" Bill Weir---the guy who is supposed to be an expert on the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)---did an on-air equivalent of a face-plant yesterday. He claimed one of the many press releases issued by EPA yesterday was pumped out so fast it contained placeholder typos. The press release had this title: Trump EPA Announces OOOO b/c Reconsideration of Biden-Harris Rules Strangling American Energy Producers. Weir called OOOO four "zeros" and didn't know that they are four capital Oh's and part of Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), built on EPA’s 2012 publication of 40 CFR, Part 60, Subpart OOOO—commonly known as Quad O. It exposed Weir as a total fraud---on air!
