Where’s the editorial on freedom of speech

Regarding the article, “Orlando gunman said he was IS soldier; Paul Ryan criticizes FBI”:

The Herald editorial board missed another big story on this administration’s duplicity.

A transcript of the call between the Orlando shooter and the police was sent to the U.S. justice department.

The administration redacted all references to Islam, Al Bagdadi, Allah, etc., and then sent it on to the press. But the press had the original version already and all hell broke loose among those members of the press who objected to being lied to. One wonders what few objected given the last eight years of smoke and mirrors which most of the press dutifully passes on to us.

So, unique to this latest kabuki dance, Obama , through Loretta Lynch, (aka fall guy ), quickly reversed course and resent an un-redacted version, along with a lame excuse for trying to hide the intent of the shooter.

This has been going on since the Fort Hood massacre which Obama called “a workplace shooting incident.”

Not a word from The Herald. Does the editorial group of this paper include those three monkeys that see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil?
