The COVID Files the Media Ignored: Tulsi Gabbard Spoke, Legacy News Stayed Silent - June 22, 2026

Give Us Your FeedbackAre you getting all the news, or just the stories legacy media wants you to see? In this Wilmington Standard Daily Update, we highlight how major networks and local outlets quietly ignored a key ODNI document release on Covid‑19 and what that silence says about today’s media. We dig into how fear, Fauci, and lockdown policies reshaped small business, churches, and voting — while corporate media chose to protect the narrative instead of inform the public. Then we point to the rise of citizen journalists and independent outlets that are doing the work the old media establishment refuses to do.What you’ll learn / Key moments00:01 – Are you getting all the news?
