After I broke the story yesterday (02-04-2025) regarding Bob Ferguson's directive to his cabinet agencies to run all media communications through his office so that he can control the narrative, I break down what I've found and what we know so far. I cover some of the responses from his cabinet members, who asked good clarifying questions, and watched the responses roll in from the Governor's office.
