Tulsi Gabbard fired two high level intelligence officials days after releasing a report contradicting Trump's claims about Tren de Aragua.

Summary

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired National Intelligence Council Acting Chair Mike Collins and Deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof after they contradicted Trump’s claims about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

A declassified NIC report found no Maduro-directed effort behind TDA’s U.S. activity, opposing Trump’s justification for suspending Venezuelan migrants’ due-process rights.

Whistleblowers accused the officials of undermining Trump. Gabbard is relocating the NIC from the CIA to her office.

Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.

    Serious question. But where do I find unfucked sources of news? Like I use to be able to take things like the NIHS, CDC seriously but can’t anymore. Government is pretty much syncopating towards the executive branch.

    I am more or less looking for sources of news that is in their interest to report the facts as accurately as possible.

      The way I see it is no label is trustworthy or ever has been, simply look at the sources and compare articles on the same subject.

      where do I find unfucked sources of news?

      Look towards the news sources that Trump is trying to shut down.

      Or look to international news sources that aren’t American owned.

      You have to accept that there are no such thing as unfucked sources and make your mind up accordingly

        Scrutiny is good and all, but I’d like to think that journalistic standards can be expected from some sources. And, those sources can be generally accepted without me having to be a journalist myself. Otherwise, what is the point of journalism?

        Exactly, everything right now is being controlled or news agencies like PBS and NPR being unfunded because that’s how dictatorships are born, you only listen to one source of news and that happens to be the news channels endorsed by the rulling dictator party.
