|content=No mainstream outlet has properly covered this story in 25 years. Every big paper has asked about it. Yet every story is always spiked by an editor. It just sits there in full view of the entire press core.

It is what proved to me that there is no actual newspaper in America.

But let’s do it in their own words from their own secret study which they hid from the public. It was about tampering w/ free markets to hobble US scientists. https://t.co/uZOTApkeHi

Sam is more pro-expert, anti-conspiracy, anti-populist, anti-religion, pro-reason, anti-tribal, anti-advertising.

Where should we hash it out?
