There is no reason to believe these people have this material. Have they had it for 19 months now and just decided to announce it?
As silly as this claim is, however, it is shocking that the AP and other outlets would report this as news. There is no reason to believe this claim, yet it is somehow news that the claim was made.
I used to think the media was biased. They aren't. They are way beyond bias. They have taken sides.
It's tragic and the slide down has been a many decades long occurrence. This though, this is a new low.
