In 2017, the Center for American Progress (CAP) released a report praising China's "truly impressive" shift away from coal. The report came after the liberal think tank's energy experts met with Chinese government officials to "find out what is really happening" with the communist nation's emissions trajectory.
China's leaders, those experts concluded, had made the "strategic choice" to crack down on coal-fired power and "grab the clean energy bull by the horns."...
Shortly after CAP released its report, Beijing repeatedly loosened its restrictions on coal projects from 2017 to 2019, sparking a mad dash to build new power plants. China's coal consumption went on to reach a record high in 2020, and the expansion isn't slowing down anytime soon.

Think Progress, a website operated by the liberal Center for American Progress, failed to vet a phony story which claimed that Minnesota U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann proposed “Americanization” labor camps for Central American unaccompanied children. “I’m calling on all of us, Obama and Congress and everyone, to chip in and build special new facilities…‘Americanization facilities,’ if you will,” Bachmann said, according to Think Progress, which has since corrected its embarrassing flub.
