Just standard operating procedure for the Ministry of Truth under the "most transparent administration" ever.
Fox News (4/11/24) reports: "Biden administration officials successfully pressured fact-checking website Snopes to alter its rating on a fact check it conducted regarding a potential federal ban on gas stoves, according to internal communications. In early January 2023, Snopes issued a 'mixture' rating on the claim that the Biden administration was considering a ban on gas-powered stovetops, citing comments made by a senior official overseeing product regulations. Shortly before the fact check, Richard Trumka Jr., a member of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), said such a ban was 'on the table.'...But Snopes, which originally gave its 'mixture' rating as a result of Trumka's statements, changed the rating to "false," stating the CPSC is "not currently considering a ban on gas stoves." Snopes' updated article included additional comments from the CPSC and downplayed Trumka's earlier statement. However, Snopes only altered its article after pressure from the CPSC to do so, according to emails exchanged between CPSC and White House communications officials and obtained by watchdog group Functional Government Initiative (FGI) through an information request..."A commissioner appointed by President Biden wanted to ban gas stoves, and he got caught, provoking a public outcry," said FGI researcher and spokesperson Peter McGinnis. "So, the CPSC staff leaned on Snopes, seeking to counter the narrative by splitting hairs about commission processes. 'And the White House finds this ‘helpful.’ Helpful with what? This goes beyond dysfunction — the government using sympathetic media to censor inconvenient news,' McGinnis said. 'The American people deserve both to keep their gas stoves and to know the truth about what regulations government officials are considering.'"

..Across the country, in another blue state where policymakers are recklessly and myopically trying to jettison fossil fuels, customers are already seeing higher power bills. 'The cost to consumers of two offshore wind projects expected to support New York’s self-imposed climate goals has more than doubled from their original estimates, which were high to begin with,' says the Institute for Energy Research."
