Today we're talking about the heartbreaking story of an Oklahoma teen girl, Dagny Benedict, who died earlier this month after she and another student were beaten by three older girls in their school's bathroom. The problem with the story? It has now come out that Dagny did not, in fact, die due to bullying over her "non-binary" identity, as media outlets were quick to report. We break down the reports from news outlets and how they have controlled the narrative and strangely blamed Libs of TikTok for her death. Also, we take a look at Google's AI tool Gemini and its refusal to depict white people in its AI-generated images.
