Folks,

Yet again, we have another example of what Scott Johnson, Preya Samsundar, and I have dealt with for 3 years as we’ve investigated @IlhanMN.

Nancy LeTourneau at Washington Monthly has run a piece that is objectively false and defamatory. washingtonmonthly.com/2019/07/24/the… (1/x)
Read this passage about Scott’s original article from August 2016, and my articles from 2018.

Then do a Google search of our actual work, and let us know what you think.

I think it is not credible to claim that she did not intentionally defame us. (2/x)
She also credits the work of @willsommer of @thedailybeast.

This week, I posted evidence that he was seeking to dox Somali whistleblowers who first warned voters of @IlhanMN. And that Will seems to be working with sources who explicitly threatened violence. (3/x)
Mary LeTourneau has added to the 3 years of startlingly unethical choices mainstream media has made in covering @IlhanMN.

They are choosing a useful, false narrative over fact-finding and respect for their audience. (4/x)
Washington Monthly, this is a request for retraction and published apology. I will consider legal action otherwise.

We provide a better product. Folks, if our work has helped you, consider canceling an MSM subscription and sending it here instead:
