While I have waited to comment on the facts of Kyle\u2019s case until the trial ends. I cannot hold back on the media\u2019s public execution of him before the trial has concluded.\u201d\u201cAt this time I would like to use my platform to let Kyle know that I am here for you and if you ever would like to reach out to me, I am about the only person our age to have an idea of how the media is treating you,\u201d Sandmann wrote. \u201cThe way the media has treated you is terrible, and you don\u2019t have to face it alone.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
