Radical evil, and the online lynching of a kid from Kentucky
2019-01-21
[Spectator] Will journalists apologize if their portrayal of the Covington students vs Indian Elder incident turns out to have been wildly wrong?

I have bad news for you. Somewhere in the this country, right now, teenage boys are acting like jerks.

Yes, it’s true. Some are taunting their little sisters. Others are picking on a funny looking kid in their class. Still others are grandstanding for the benefit of the cute girl who happens to be part of their clique.

#12   Holding your hand drum, beating it loudly in their face, screaming and chanting something incoherent. FIFY!

I wonder how rare this sort of behaviour is with jornolists?

Secretly gay, doing very risky drug combos, affair behind wife's back, leaves a child.

All the whoppers he's told his wife. Imagine what he's told the audience.

#10  Reminds me of Dan Rather and his fake memo.
I have a college friend on facebook who constantly posts Dan Rather comments. I nearly always respond that Dan Rather is untrustworthy and dishonorable and include a link tot he wiki page on the scandal that cost Rather his career.

Don't let them forget their malfeasance.

#7  I've always believed there should be a tabloid like National Enquirer dedicated to stories about the lives of journalists. If they put it next to the National Enquirer at the checkout stand in my supermarket I might even buy it.

#5  Silentbrick, there are a few problems with this. Your side (& mine) mostly consists of people who just want to live their lives. Theirs has tens of thousand for whom "der struggle" is the only life.

#4  The way to deal with this is easy, track down all the people pushing the narrative and do it to them.

Amazing how quickly CNN tracked down the kid who did the Trump vs CNN vid and doxxed him. You think they'd do the same here? /rhet question

America's Legacy Infortainment Enterprises now own the old Russian saying - there's no truth in the news and no news in the truth.

#3  This is where things can get dangerous. This is where the Fake Media Cartel smear operation can get innocent people assasinated by the SJ Mob.

#2  The way to deal with this is easy, track down all the people pushing the narrative and do it to them. Get in their face screaming and ask them "How many people will you lie about today to get what you want?" Expose their lies, their lives and their sins. Red flag them to the police as a danger to themselves and others because they are. Destroy their lives and it will stop. It doesn't need to be all of them, just 5-6 before the rest learn the lesson.

#1  It's official: facts no longer matter. It's all about the feelz and The Narrative.

My compliments to the Covington student on his composure. And a big $EXPLETIVE_DELETED to the media for trying to sell this horseshit.
