CLAIM

Journalists Snub Artemis II Astronauts

CATEGORY

Malpractice

THE OFFENSE

The White House press corps had a rare opportunity to engage with the Artemis II crew following their record-setting trip around the moon – and instead chose to ignore them entirely.

THE TRUTH

The mainstream media is completely out of touch, and chooses to be helplessly fixated on Beltway gossip and political theater. Rather than acknowledge or celebrate a landmark American achievement, reporters offered the astronauts no recognition, no congratulations, and no substantive engagement – a telling display of misplaced priorities.
