Remember Jack Teixeira, the young Air National Guardsman who leaked national security information online — and had a history of posting racist and homophobic rants? Yes, that's the man — the one the media initially wanted to present to us as not a menace but just a regular devout Catholic from a patriotic military Republican family.

Now this: as Haley Britzky reports, recently filed court documents now state that Teixeira knowingly shared classified information with at least one person appearing to reside in a foreign country.
Maybe the media's going to have to reconsider its framing of "devout conservative Catholic young man from strong, religious, patriotic Republican military family"? Maybe the media needs to reconsider its instinctual bias in framing stories like this?
