It only took 10 years for the American state media to finally stand up for one another as well as democracy now that they are being banned from the bulldozed White House by the same fascist criminal monstrosity they helped to create by normalizing him and capitulating to his every demand.

Ryan Grim: "I guess people are over this but Fauci should still be prosecuted for this deception. In his diary in January 2020, he says that the wet market was a super spreader but not the origin — yet publicly he claimed exactly the opposite.
