PART 2 – The MSM is getting coal this Christmas, after a recent Washington Post story attempted to portray DC National Guard ambush suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal as a struggling Afghan immigrant weighed down by job issues and post-war stress. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/12092025 」•• Despite their years-long insistence to "trust the experts" the media immediately changed their tune once Trump returned to the White House. Suddenly, major outlets are eager to decry the FDA's demands for a science-based approval process of vaccines, post headlines defending criminals, and publish countless paragraphs speculating about the President's health (Biden excluded, of course). Curtis Houck of NewsBusters reviews the MSM's worst spins of the year. Rob Henderson investigated women and monogamy. Dr. Chloe Carmichael explains why she says "refusing intimidation is a skill every American needs." Curtis Houck is the Managing Editor of NewsBusters.
