Seeing the success of The Epoch Times as America’s fastest-growing newspaper, @NBCNews has published a hit-piece that is riddled with inaccuracies, blatant errors, and misrepresentations.

(Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/nbc-news-repea…
@NBCNews NBC News mischaracterizes our subscription campaigns for our print newspaper. We provided @NBCNews with a statement back in June to clarify this, but they chose to ignore it—against well established journalistic practices. theepochtimes.com/our-response-t…
While The Epoch Times has been at the forefront of covering the actions taken by officials in the Obama admin targeting the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, @NBCNews is refusing to look at verifiable evidence and simply dismisses this reporting as a “conspiracy theory.”
@NBCNews This comes from an outlet that misled the American public for over 2 years with false claims of #Collusion between President Trump and #Russia to win the 2016 election.

Further, in an attempt to discredit The Epoch Times, NBC News resorts to repeating propaganda produced by…
…China’s ruling #Communist regime. This comes as @NBCNews’s parent company @NBCUniversal continues to work with a consortium of #Chinese state-owned companies on a multi-billion dollar project in #Beijing. sec.gov/Archives/edgar…
@NBCNews @NBCUniversal It is sad to see a once respectable news organization engaging in such behavior.

The reality is that @NBCNews is inadvertently lending legitimacy to #China’s ruling regime at a time when it is cracking down on its own citizens in #HongKong.
@NBCNews @NBCUniversal Their report also adds fuel to the #Communist Party’s ongoing horrific 20-year-long persecution of tens of millions of #Chinese citizens for their practice of #FalunGong—an ancient Chinese meditation practice based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance.
Just 2 months ago, in June, an independent people’s tribunal in the UK headed by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC unanimously concluded that #Chinese authorities have been killing #FalunGong practitioners for their organs “on a significant scale.”
In 2016, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously condemned the #Communist regime’s forced organ harvesting from #FalunGong practitioners in #China.
The @EpochTimes has been transparent that our founders, who fled #Communist #China themselves, were practitioners of the spiritual discipline.

This information is available in our own 'about us' video.
The @EpochTimes is a proudly independent media based on the principles of Truth & Tradition and is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of journalism. Over the years, we have sustained ongoing attacks. This includes ten of our staff members who were arrested in #China
… and given extensive prison terms for their commitment to independent media.

The reality is that The @EpochTimes is growing so quickly exactly because we believe in the principle of truth, something many other media have abandoned.

This WWII hero took on 200 German soldiers—and won.

He held the line alone for over an hour.
Wounded. Frozen. Outgunned.

He calmly called in artillery on his own position—and forced the enemy to retreat.

And yet today, most Americans have never heard of him.
His name was Audie Murphy.

And his story proves the power of an underestimated kid who refuses to back down.

🧵 THREAD[A movie still from the 1955 “To Hell and Back” depicting Murphy’s time in combat. He starred as himself in the film. Universal Pictures]
Audie Murphy grew up in rural Texas where he was one of 12 children.

He was a loner with a big temper and he dropped out of school in the fifth grade.

His father ultimately deserted the family, which led to Audie getting a job as a cotton picker as a child to help support the family.

Audie’s mother died when he was only 16 years old, and some of his siblings were sent to an orphanage.[Audie Murphy’s young self played by actor Gordon Gebert in “To Hell and Back.” Universal Pictures]
Following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, all Audie Murphy wanted was to join the U.S. military, but they all turned him down. He was underweight and underage.

So he did what any highly motivated teenager would do—he lied about his age (with help from his sister) and joined the U.S. Army at the age of 17.

Audie went on to become the most decorated World War II combat soldier.[Audie Murphy being rejected by the U.S. Navy, in “To Hell and Back.” Universal Pictures]

This isn’t a war movie. It really happened.

A U.S. soldier was shot.
Stabbed.
Blown up.

Left for dead in a body bag.
Until he spit in the doctor’s face to prove he was alive.

His name was Roy Benavidez.

And it’s what happened before the body bag that makes him a legend.

Prepare yourself for one of the greatest soldier stories ever told.

🧵 THREAD(Wikimedia Commons)
Roy Benavidez was a real-life action hero.

During one Vietnam War battle, Roy was shot, hit by shrapnel, and even stabbed by a bayonet—but that didn’t stop him from saving at least eight men. Archival photo from the Vietnam War featured in “Vietnam: The War That Changed America.” Apple TV+
Roy Benavidez didn’t have an easy life.

The son of a Mexican farmer and Yaqui mother, Roy lost both of his parents to tuberculosis—his dad passing away when Roy was only two, and his mom only five years later.

He was raised by family in the town of El Campo, Texas where he dropped out of school at 15, opting to work full-time instead so he could support his family.Three trucks, the largest loaded with sections of pipe, while the foreground is dominated by lengths of pipework, at an unspecified pipe yard in El Campo, Texas, circa 1945.

🚨 CCP Targets Shen Yun, NYT Coverage Raises Questions

“Two years ago, we learned the CCP planned to escalate its war on us in America. Now, we’re facing legal weaponization, media smears, and threats to bomb, shoot, and rape our performers.”
— Shen Yun VP Ying Chen

🧵A ThreadImage
Sabotage Campaign. Shen Yun Performing Arts is facing mounting challenges. Recent incidents include bomb threats, sabotage such as tire-slashing, and a wave of disinformation aimed at disrupting its global performances. Evidence points to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as the driving force behind these efforts. Meanwhile, the New York Times’ reporting on the group has drawn scrutiny for its alignment with Beijing’s narrative—here’s what’s happening to the U.S.-based arts group.Image
Global Tours. Shen Yun tours the world to top theaters to showcase China’s true cultural heritage through classical Chinese dance and music—traditions the CCP has tried to erase for decades. Its popularity has made it a target for attack on U.S. soil and around the world.

THREAD 🧵
Corruption is an “endemic feature” of China under communist rule due to the opaque political system in the party-state and the lack of checks and balances, according to a recent U.S. intelligence report. Image
The report, released on March 20 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), states that bribery increases “an official’s legal earnings by four to six times.”

It also reported that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping and his family had amassed more than $1 billion in wealth as of 2012.

Since Xi assumed power in 2012, information on corruption among CCP officials has been more challenging to obtain, the report said, adding that Xi’s family is known to have held at least millions in financial investments as of last year.

Link to report: dni.gov/files/ODNI/doc…Image
The Intelligence Authorization Act of 2023 required the ODNI to produce an unclassified report for the general public on the wealth and corruption of senior CCP leaders. Marco Rubio, currently U.S. secretary of state, inserted that requirement into the bill when he was vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
