It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didnât need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
