In other news, we are bringing in some festive cheer as we share holiday-inspired stories. Ami reminds us of another holiday tradition the Brits stole, Emily explains very calmly why Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie and Lubna speaks on the history of Santa Clause - a capitalist figurehead created by a multi-billion dollar corporation.
To keep up to date with the three girls follow @3girls1newscast on Instagram!
As much as we love talking to the void, feel free to say hey!
Also come engage in our IG stories where we will be asking you questions about conspiracy theories and Die Hard.
As always, we love to make sure we’re only spreading holiday cheer and NOT spreading fake news so check out our source links:
