Second local TV reporter says on air working with Project Veritas on alleged network discrimination
Michigan | June 22, 2021
A Detroit TV meteorologist announced Sunday during a story on her local CBS News outlet that later this week she will be revealing with investigative organization Project Veritas “discrimination” against company employees.
“I will be sitting down this week with Project Veritas to discuss the discrimination that CBS is enforcing upon its employees,” reporter April Moss said in the middle of a weather report. “Tune into Project Veritas for my full story.”
Moss is the latest whistleblower to come forward on air against a news organization.
A TV news reporter for a Fox affiliate in Houston said last week the station’s parent company is “muzzling” her and that she is sharing secret recordings with the undercover news operation Project Veritas.

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Wins Religious Liberty Case

A student Christian group located at Wayne State University, in Detroit, MI, on April 5 won a big victory in Federal District Court.
It seems the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship group was discriminated against because they (gasp!) only allow Christians to accept leadership roles in the Christian group.
It’s a case that adds new weight to the question: “How can ‘inclusive’ government schools claim to ‘include’ all interest groups, if, by their nature, these groups are distinct, specifically because of their various interests?” And it’s a story that elicits keen interest.
