We take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of our least favorite characters: newly indicted CFO of the Epoch Times Bill Guan, the Falun Gong’s relationship with the media organization, and just why Brandon’s DOJ might be cutting ties to the erstwhile propaganda frenemy. ALSO: why are we doing GAMESTOP fun pumps again???
