House Science Committees taxpayer-funded email newsletter now features Breitbart, other deniers

House Science Committee’s taxpayer-funded email newsletter now features Breitbart, other deniers
The daily news email is compiled by an outside firm and sent to members and staff as a resource.

For months, daily news emails sent from the House Science Committee majority to members and staff have included links to outlets with a strong history of climate denial, such as Breitbart and the Daily Mail, as well as Koch-affiliated outlets like the Washington Free Beacon and the Daily Caller, ThinkProgress has learned.

The emails, which are not publicly available, fit into a pattern of the Republican-led House Science Committee embracing unscientific and highly partisan information. And, according to some experts, at least one email might have violated House ethics rules.
