âApril was the month the narratives died,â says the New York Postâs Mary Kay Linge in a review of The Gray Lady Winked by journalist and media commentator Ashley Rindsberg. Linge summarizes some of Rindsbergâs writing about the leftist lies peddled for a very long time by the New York Times: On April 15, the Biden administration acknowledged there was no evidence that Russia ever offered bounties on American troops in Afghanistan, walking back a report that wounded former President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2020 election. Four days later, the Washington, DC, medical examiner revealed that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick had not been murdered by rampaging Trump supporters during the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot, as reports had claimed, but had died of natural causes.
