ST. LOUIS — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Thursday said a news story that reported his office had buried a study showing mask mandates work was "purposefully misleading."
Parson issued a statement via social media late Thursday, a day after the story was released by the Missouri Independent.
The governor said the reporter, Rudi Keller, "handpicked information from a Sunshine request then took the data out of context in order to fit his narrative."
