Accuracy in Media

Immerse yourself in any political argument on the Internet, and eventually, someone will say, “Well, at least we didn’t elect the criminal Hillary Clinton.” And the other side will say, “You investigated her for 25 years and got nothing … isn’t that perhaps because she’s not a criminal?” But take a look at a batch […]

Leaks have been an issue in many presidential administrations, but recently, leaks have been coming out of the American government run under the Trump administration, ranging from accusations that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is the focus of the FBI probe on possible Russia-Trump collusion to crime scene photos from the Manchester, England terrorist attack.
