> the first reports on this already appeared in august 2020

Actually, it was covered in May of 2020 in the Daily Wire.

insane, I wonder how many have heard of this for the first time today or are still unaware because the mainstream media never picked it up or is memory-holing this

It is for precisely this reason that I built Read Across The Aisle, [1] a free app that incentivizes you to read news from both sides of the political spectrum.

The coverage bias on both sides is enormous, and there's enough news to cover that it's easy to overlook inconvenient truths (or relegate them to page B-47).

I've started following two sources to help address this for myself.

Tangle is a daily newsletter that provides links to coverage from both sides. VERY fair reporting. Ground News highlights stories that have been covered by only one side of the aisle.

One reason I see is that people, especially those from mainstream media, will just shrug Daily Wire off as "right-wing". "Right-wing" is such a wonderful stigmata. Quote the words, and gone is pursuit of truth.

Truth is treason in the empire of lies.
