Whenever liberals get upset about something, its almost a guarantee that the broadcast networks will do a story channeling their fears. That was the case Wednesday morning, as ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today seized on left-wing environmental activists being in hysterics over President Trump’s executive order rolling back excessive environmental regulations imposed by the Obama administration.

At the top of GMA, substitute co-host and World News Tonight anchor David Muir proclaimed: “President Trump under fire. The new backlash over his executive order rolling back President Obama’s climate policies.” In a report that followed minutes later, correspondent Mary Bruce breathlessly cited an unhinged statement from liberal opponents of the action: “But this morning, environmentalists are vowing to fight it. One group describing it as the single biggest attack on climate action in U.S. history, period.”
