The irony of Media going all-in on a selectively edited video from the March for Life
That’s at least one of the big takeaways from the press’ disastrous promotion this weekend of bogus allegations of racism against
teenagers at the March for Life. They were harassed by an elderly Native American protester, after being berated and abused by a
hateful sect known as the Black Hebrew ISRAELITES, but their
situation got really bad only because of a single, selectively edited video of the incident that took place the day after the March for Life.
Forgive my eyerolling as I think back to the high standard of proof that the national media set in 2015 following the release of the undercover
Planned Parenthood tapes. A court has since concluded that those tapes were kosher, but the media described them as "selectively
edited" when they were released.
The video in this story, in contrast, actually was selectively edited. The New York Times claimed in a headline published Saturday that
high school students in “Make America Great Again” hats mobbed Nathan Phillips, an elderly Native American protester and Vietnam War veteran.
“A Native American Vietnam War veteran was seen being harassed and mocked by a group of MAGA hat-wearing teens,” read a headline
published this weekend by the Huffington Post.
The Huffington Post also featured the story on its front page Saturday under a banner that blared: “MAGA HATS, MEGA HATE: HARASSMENT AT NATIVE MARCH.”
The MSM seems to be in a complete mess as far as Public Credibilty is concerned. Credibility is an ESSENTIAL in the Media business.
Once lost it can take many years to rebuild.
There is Now evidence that the MSM is beyond the tipping point on CREDIBILITY. It can Never recover.
