Immediately following her departure from the DNI, the Washington Post published a critical article by John Swain regarding Tulsi Gabbard's alleged spiritual influences. The piece is characterized as a coordinated "hit job" by the intelligence community in retaliation for her document releases. The timing of the article suggests an effort to discredit Gabbard as she transitions out of her official role.

Representative Michele Bachmann was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos, who produced a copy of President Obama's birth certificate during the segment. Bachmann remained calm, suggesting the document should "settle it," which appeared to neutralize Stephanopoulos's attempt at a "hit piece." Speculation arose that Bachmann may have been tipped off about the document reveal prior to the interview.

John C. Dvorak deconstructs the specific rhetorical techniques used by writer Carl Taro Greenfield in the Time Magazine profile of Jenny McCarthy. He identifies "poisoning the well" through descriptors like "corn-fed cute" and "foul-mouthed." Dvorak also highlights the inclusion of Dr. Paul Offit, characterizing him as a pharmaceutical industry "stooge" for Merck who lacks objectivity in the vaccine debate.
