A 2023 email from NewsGuard to the @freebeacon, which as everybody knows goes to great lengths to disguise its ideological biases -

"Finally, also in our review we note that when the publication was founded in 2012, editor Matthew Continetti wrote that it would 'scrutinize the left’s claims with the same adversarial techniques that the left uses to cover the right.' However, I cannot find a disclosure of this conservative perspective anywhere on the site. This does not meet NewsGuard’s standard for handling the difference between news and opinion responsibly."

When Tim Walz launched his ‘06 campaign, he boasted in his biography that he’d been named “Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.” That wasn’t true and the then president of the Nebraska chamber sent him a letter - freebeacon.com/democrats/for-…
The letter asked him to remove the reference and noted the Chamber had endorsed Walz’s GOP opponent, Gil Gutknecht - Image
"It fits a pattern of misleading and fabricated statements he has made throughout his political and personal life," Gutknecht told @FreeBeacon. "All political figures are guilty of a bit of puffery. He frequently went well beyond that into prevarication."

The Conservative Partnership Institute, home of Mark Meadows and Jim DeMint, left exposed and vulnerable every resume updated to its job bank for the past several months. Info included social security numbers, identities of TS/SCI clearance holders, cell numbers/addresses and more - freebeacon.com/issues/hundred…
The @FreeBeacon reached out to them this morning to let them know we planned to do a story but wanted to ensure all the information was removed beforehand. We got a call from a PR rep who challenged the assertion and hung up on us. The information was removed shortly thereafter.
Applicants described themselves in the following ways... An intelligence analyst for a U.S. government client described herself as "a highly qualified Intelligence professional with over 5 years of experience in the Intelligence Community…TS/SCI clearance with Full Scope Polygraph." A current Pentagon official with a TS/SCI clearance said he "leads the team that translates the President’s and Secretary of Defense’s directives into policy and orders for execution in U.S Central Command." The resumes for both included their names, addresses, and cell phone numbers.

"Goodwill Sold a Bust for $34.99. It’s an Ancient Roman Relic" - nytimes.com/2022/05/06/us/…
The quotes in this are so amazing: "She had named it 'Dennis Reynolds,' after a character from the comedy series 'It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.'"
"Like that vain and narcissistic cad, the 52-pound marble bust was 'a very difficult, cold, aloof, emotionless man that caused some problems for me,' Ms. Young said."
