Earlier this month, The
Environmental Protection Agency dismissed half the scientists who serve on a
science review board that plays a crucial role in the work the agency
does. The EPA relies heavily on the
scientific guidance of the group when it comes to air and water quality when
making policy decisions, and the move to cripple this review board has sent
shock waves throughout the nations scientific and environmental communities and
led to a number of EPA subcommittee members to resign in protest. Joining me today to talk all about the EPA’s
dismissal of nine of the 18 scientists on a key science review board and his
decision to resign in protest from the EPA's Sustainable and Healthy
Communities Subcommittee is Carlos Martín who is a Civil Engineer and former member of an EPA subcommittee.

Today on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127
After being faced with
widespread expressions of disgust from progressive groups, journalism
watchdogs, and even his own Fox News colleagues, Sean Hannity announced last
night that he will stop his fact-free promotion of an unfounded conspiracy
theory that 27-year-old Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich
was murdered in Washington, D.C., last July because he talked to
WikiLeaks. The announcement comes after
his own cable network, the Fox News Channel, had officially retracted the
bogus Seth Rich story earlier in the day saying that it was not
initially subjected to a high degree of editorial scrutiny and that upon review
it did not to meet those standards.
Joining me today to talk about the conspiracy surrounding the tragic
murder of Seth Rich and the role that Sean Hannity and Fox News played in
promoting it is Andrew Kirell the
senior editor at The Daily Beast.
