The Blaze

I'm not sure how reliable the Blaze is, and I'm hoping that more reliable sources will report on this claim to see if it's true or false. Anyway, the Blaze is claiming that video from January 6 proves that one of the witnesses who testified in the Oath Keepers trial lied under oath. The video has been made public, so it should not be hard for other sources to investigate the claim by the Blaze.

Your direct support ensures that the stores that matter most, those buried by Big Tech and the mainstream media narratives, will be brought to light. Yeah, no way. VQuakr (talk) 21:43, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RSP is useful for checking the reliability of sources. In this case it says "Blaze Media (including TheBlaze) is considered generally unreliable for facts." JaggedHamster (talk) 07:27, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
