Faceplant Alert: Lee Zeldin OBLITERATES CNN's Bill Weir Criticizing EPA Rollbacks For 'Typos'

Posted • March 13, 2025: Being the 'Chief Climate Change Correspondent' for CNN has to be a pretty sweet gig. Just ask the current holder of that job title, Bill Weir. You don't actually have to know anything about the climate, the weather, or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. All you have to do is spread fear porn on the airwaves shouting about anything that happens related to weather as a sign of impending DOOOOOOM from the so-called 'climate crisis.' Last night, Weir appeared on The Source With Kaitlin Collins to criticize and 'fact-check' President Trump's EPA director Lee Zeldin, who has been wiping out huge amounts of Obama and Biden-era waste and corruption from the agency in the form of regulatory rollbacks. Apparently, Zeldin has been working so quickly and so effectively that Weir thought he MUST be making mistakes. So, like any good 'journalist,' he made some mistakes up.

CNN’s Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir posting his L’s. While criticizing the EPA for shooting first, Bill Weir not only revealed his lack of knowledge about EPA rules, he also revealed that he does not know the difference between O’s and 0’s. -- Oh, there is so much more that Weir does not know in addition to the difference between a zero and the letter 'O.' Fortunately, Zeldin was quick to respond by BURYING Weir for his ignorance on the subject of EPA regulations. —— Lee Zeldin @epaleezeldin: “Another media “fact check” face plant where the fact checker doesn’t have the slightest clue what he’s talking about. “OOOO b/c” is not a typo. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO, or Quad O, is a federal reg under the Clean Air Act. Also, those aren’t zeroes, it’s the letter “O”.” —— Whoopsies. Hey, we're just spitballing here, but if you are going to claim to be a climate 'expert' (or even just a qualified reporter), maybe you should know the first thing about the EPA regulations you are citing. It's a crazy idea, we know.

Bill Weir—CNN’s Chief Climate Correspondent—just tried to dunk on the EPA, Lee Zeldin and Trump yet all he actually did was expose the fact that he is a hack. OOOO isn’t a typo. It’s part of the EPA’s quad O rules. Also they’re O’s and not 0’s. Bill needs to do an on air correction. But we're not holding our breath for that to happen. Weir has never apologized for all of the other countless times he has been laughably wrong about 'climate change.' And CNN still hasn't apologized for all of the misinformation they spread about the climate, COVID, and 'Russia collusion,' just to name a few examples. Yes, it's true. The legacy media is dead. They just won't stop twitching. (…)
