I wanted to do this post a few days ago when the info was fresher. Then I let it go and changed my mind. Then I saw something that changed my mind again, so here it is:
The title refers to the leftist media, A.K.A., the enemy of the people. Except for the final example, I'm not going to bother with specific citations of which leftist source was guilty of the infractions I will present, except to say the last isn't a leftist source. I'll deal with that when I get to it.
The first is how the trial of Officer Derek Chauvin for his allegedly being the reason massively high criminal suspect George Floyd died while in police custody. Constant references to this trial refer to "the killing of George Floyd". Note how I said "for his allegedly being the reason massively high criminal suspect George Floyd died". Various news sources I've heard on radio and TV haven't used the word "allegedly" when referring to "the killing of George Floyd". The reason journalists and their employers are supposed to use the word "allegedly" is to avoid tainting the trial and improperly influencing the jury. Sure, the awarding of millions of dollars by the city to the "family" of Floyd...with no mention that I've seen regarding if any of those family members were actual dependents Floyd supported, like children, aging mother, etc....would surely carry such a risk of influence and news sources were irresponsible in reporting that as well. (For the moronic, this means that a jury might figure if the city would award anything to the Floyd family...whoever they are...it's as good as an admission that their cops were definitely guilty of causing his death.)
Here, I must add that I can't guarantee that I didn't also hear this lawsuit-worthy mistake uttered from a more right-wing source as well. But that wouldn't mitigate the reality of leftist media malfeasance.
The next example of irresponsible behavior was presented in a montage of clips from a variety of lefty sources...and politicians, as well...presented on a recent episode of Tucker Carlson's show. In it, they were all lamenting the horror of the Georgia legislature in the passing of their recent election integrity bill. Aside from the lie that it is intended to suppress the voting ability of minorities, one exceptionally pernicious lie being repeated by the above usual suspects is about providing drinking water for those waiting in line to vote. The fact is that it does allow poll workers to hand out water. There's nothing in the bill that prevents voters from bringing along their own water and even snacks. All of these lefty liars could have easily studied the bill to find this out, yet they chose to pretend the GOP majority of the Georgia legislature is out to hurt people and deny their voting rights, comparing them to their very own Jim Crow brethren of years past. It one of the most egregious examples of outright lying by news sources, and the politicians they support, that's come down the pike in...what time is it now?
Finally, this one is actually on Tucker Carlson in his show of a few nights ago referencing a CNN piece by one Devin Cole writing for its website, wherein he states:
"It's not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth, and there's no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth."
Now, I was torn by how I regarded Carlson's reporting of this, as it is easy to mock the idiocy of such a statement, simply because one can easily tell the sex of a newborn without even having ever studied biology or human anatomy for a single second. Then I wondered if the article was truly referring to that, Carlson was just going after low hanging fruit. Not having any desire to look it up, I simply point to the statement itself to see two very obvious and moronic problems:
1. The notion of gender identity is a fraud. While I certainly understand that I'm a man, the concept of "identity" as a man is rather absurd. It's just a given and obvious for the same reasons it's really easy to tell the sex of an infant. The left gives credence to this fantasy ideology that one can actually be of the sex opposite of what one's biology clearly indicates one is. The "transgender" activists like to think they'll get humanity to buy into this crap, but there's no legitimate reason anyone in the media must enable it and promote it as if true. But the leftist media does, willingly.
2. There is indeed "consensus" criteria for identifying the sex of a newborn, which is what the obstetrician does. It's kind of his specialty, one might say. The child's DNA has assigned to the child it's sex...or one might be better off saying the child's father assigned the sex via his personal donation of reproductive material during intercourse with the child's mother nine months prior.
So point #2 is simply a matter of understanding what the CNN "journalist" means by assigning sex, though it's incredibly difficult to believe he's not simply parroting the propaganda of the LGBT activists and their enablers.
Thus, we have three more very recent cases of the media misinforming the public, either purposely or through contemptible incompetence. There's no excuse and the public suffers either way. They are without a doubt enemies of the people.
