Author’s Take

Unfortunately, it is up to lesser-known, second-tier outlets like RedState, which does not have the intellectual and reputational gravitas (deserved or not) of mainstream media to connect the dots.  Milley’s testimony wasn’t a one-off event like it is being treated. It is the latest chapter in a story of dishonesty and incompetence. But the mainstream media is wholly unwilling to tell the story in a larger context.
