The Hound 8/28

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today we’re talking about RFK Jr.’s firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez, the Pentagon’s alarming plans to weaponize AI for propaganda, and more.

We’re also spotlighting how Fox News is laundering propaganda under the guise of “fair and balanced” interviews, giving cover to Trump officials instead of holding them accountable.

🖊️ Add your name to demand media stop boosting MAGA spin and start telling the truth.
