Chuck Todd admits an "institutional bias" in the media against Scott Pruitt. HH: I'm reacting to the Washington Post this morning. CT: Again, look, let just, let's go back to, let's go back to Scott Pruitt. I think Scott Pruitt's a lightning rod. I think on environmental issues, I think you're right. I think that there is an institutional bias on environmental issues towards climate science and things like that, right? So that is perceived as an ideological bias.

So I think it automatically puts him sort of on the defensive. http://www.hughhewitt.com/chuck-todd-on-the-bell-tolling-for-the-gop-in-november-and-thoughts-on-theshake-up/ Michael Abboud U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Sierra Club v.
