Third: as videos start emerging that don't seem to back up administration claims -- refuse to show them to your audience

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Fox News is ignoring the Susan Monarez hearing
