Summary
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified records of US government funding for more than 120 biolabs across over 30 countries, including more than 40 in Ukraine handling dangerous pathogens like anthrax, plague, and Ebola – facts the media spent years dismissing as conspiracy theories. In 2022, USA Today called the US-funded Ukraine bioweapon lab claims “false,” CBC labeled them a “QAnon conspiracy theory” and NBC News framed the story as “misinformation” that US officials “vehemently denied” — the same labs Gabbard’s office now says were real all along.

Rosen, author of “Crimes of Omission,” argues that media bias is driven less by what reporters say than by what they choose to omit. He and Dr. Drew tie the Gabbard disclosures to Senator Rand Paul’s committee findings on US funding tied to SARS-CoV-2 research and Senator Ron Johnson’s work on what health agencies knew about vaccine safety signals, and asks why almost none of it reaches the evening news. Political theorist Dr. Ralph Schoellhammer of the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest breaks down the unrest in Belfast, the fight over flags during the World Cup, and the deepening fractures inside Europe over migration policy. 2023 CNN Hero Yasmine Arrington Brooks discusses her nonprofit work supporting the children of incarcerated parents. Rob Rosen is an Emmy-winning producer, director, and author. He created and directed the limited series ‘The Infomercials That Sold Us’ starring Dennis Miller, as well as the true-crime series ‘Reasonable Doubt’. He is the author of “Crimes of Omission: Distorted Justice: The Media’s War on Truth.” Fo…
