The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Marjorie Taylor Greene's defense of the alleged Pentagon leaker is both wrong and dangerous. No representative of the US government should condone the crime of leaking classified information. These types of actions threaten America's national security and shouldn't be tolerated.

Courthouse News Service

Establishment-critical narrative

For months, politicians and the media have claimed that the US isn't directly involved in this war and that Ukraine is winning. Thanks to the leaks, Americans now know these were blatant lies. However, no politician or journalist will go to jail for misleading the public — only the 21-year-old who provided the truth.
