Before we dogpile on @RealMikeLindell for this, let's give him the benefit of the doubt for a moment.

I'm almost 100% sure @RealMikeLindell misspoke here and meant to say "TruthOut" - not TruNews.

TruthOut is a 501(c)3 that has the ties he mentioned: to Media Matters and Zachary Petrizzo. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthout

And: https://truthout.org/authors/zachary-petrizzo/

I'm sorry, but I have to view this as a verbal fumble. Mike is a busy busy busy guy (not to mention a former addict), and I'm just gonna go with the guy misspoke after a gigantic, non-stop conference where he was also assaulted, until proven otherwise.

TLDR: @RealMikeLindell meant TruthOut, not TruNews. He just had a brainfart.
