Sam Brinton's history a reason why the media shouldn't be trusted (Member Exclusive)
Sam Brinton is the gender-fluid former official at the Department of Energy who was fired for allegedly stealing people’s luggage. Brinton has a history that included claims of being forced to undergo conversion therapy.
Now, understand that conversion therapy is problematic for a number of reasons, but Brinton’s story was especially troubling. After all, we’re talking outright torture, not just someone trying to talk you into changing your mind on gender fluidity.
And yet, it seems that the media that advanced that particular narrative never bothered to fact-check it.
