Tulsi Gabbard fires top intelligence officials who contradicted Trump
Tulsi Gabbard fired two high level intelligence officials days after releasing a report contradicting Trump's claims about Tren de Aragua.
Summary
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired National Intelligence Council Acting Chair Mike Collins and Deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof after they contradicted Trump’s claims about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
A declassified NIC report found no Maduro-directed effort behind TDA's U.S. activity, opposing Trump’s justification for suspending Venezuelan migrants’ due-process rights.
Whistleblowers accused the officials of undermining Trump. Gabbard is relocating the NIC from the CIA to her office.
Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.
Goddamn fanatical religious cult member, Machiavellian psychopath.
Prerequisites for getting a job in the US Government:
- Don't speak out against Trump or his regime in any way
That's it
while not a hard prerequisite, having as little experience as possible also helps a lot.
Gabbard is reportedly moving the NIC from the CIA to her own office in order to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence,” per Fox News.
Oh, the irony. There is so much irony, it hurts.
It's not even irony, it's just willful projection at this point. And it works.
Good Russian assets protect their Russian leaders bought and paid for Russian puppets!!
Serious question. But where do I find unfucked sources of news? Like I use to be able to take things like the NIHS, CDC seriously but can’t anymore. Government is pretty much syncopating towards the executive branch.
I am more or less looking for sources of news that is in their interest to report the facts as accurately as possible.
European News Agencies are a lot more unbiased than american ones I believe. BBC for example
The Guardian has been great
Nick Robinson and Laura Kuenssberg were by no means unbias (particularly Kuenssberg) and they were both previous BBC Political Editors:
The BBC were also found to be bias during the Scottish independence referendum:

And they've had journalists call out pro-Israel bias:
In November 2024, 230 members of the media industry including 101 anonymous BBC staff wrote a letter to Tim Davie accusing the BBC of providing favourable coverage towards Israel and failing its own editorial standards by lacking "consistently fair and accurate evidence-based journalism in its coverage of Gaza".

The BBC are a giant government funded media company, they know how to present a good image of themselves and have years of good publicity and marketing to solidify that image. But be under no illusion that they are unbias. They push political agendas as much as any American private news organisation, just with more subtlety and an air of professionalism and officialdom to more legitimise their stance.
That's not to say they don't do good journalism or can't be used as a credible source at times. But just to remember that they too are bias and have masters who push agendas.
Edit: to add more context:
Europe, maybe?
where do I find unfucked sources of news?
Look towards the news sources that Trump is trying to shut down.
Or look to international news sources that aren't American owned.
You have to accept that there are no such thing as unfucked sources and make your mind up accordingly
Exactly, everything right now is being controlled or news agencies like PBS and NPR being unfunded because that's how dictatorships are born, you only listen to one source of news and that happens to be the news channels endorsed by the rulling dictator party.
Scrutiny is good and all, but I'd like to think that journalistic standards can be expected from some sources. And, those sources can be generally accepted without me having to be a journalist myself. Otherwise, what is the point of journalism?

Zero, everything is being controlled because that's exactly what dictatorships do.
Gotta make sure Putin gets what he paid for
Little MS russian Kgb agent.
If you’re narking on people who are saying the intelligence doesn’t support those claims, as being “disloyal”, you’re not being a whistleblower.
You’re being a Nazis prick fucking over someone just doing their job to get ahead of the curve.
Seriously, the word whistleblower has absolutely no place in this context..
Agreed.
Unrelated, but it's narcing. Narc is short for narcotics officer.
Uhm.
So, while it is related to narcotics officers, it’s nark
Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.
Ah, so just like they live the rest of their reality then? Might be the first thing they’re consistent about!
You mean to daddy you go now
