There is some type of liberal bias, deception, and/or deceit in almost every single mainstream media report or article that deals with social and/or political issues. The Black Lives Matter
(BLM) movement began after the white police officer involved shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
The current NFL “take a knee” protest, also an offshoot of the Michael Brown shooting, is further dividing America.
The truth is that both the BLM movement and the spin-off NFL protests, are based on myths and lies.
Google, Wikipedia: “Michael Brown shooting,” and compare what you’ve heard and read in the media to the Grand Jury eyewitness testimony.
When confronted with the autopsy report, many “media” eyewitnesses admitted they did not see any of the incident.
But instead, heard about what happened from a friend, who heard it from a friend or social media.
The result, 5 law enforcement officers killed in Dallas, 3 killed in Baton Rouge, and numerous other officers around the country ambushed.
In my opinion, as much as anyone, the media was to blame for the riots and the violence against law enforcement across the country.
You may want to google, “Philando Castile shooting” and “Philando Castile gang member.”
The real reason Castile was pulled over by police in Minnesota was because he matched the description of an armed robbery suspect, not because of a defective tail-light.
But if it suits an individual’s or a group’s agenda, they will not let facts get in the way.
In my two part letter about the violent confrontation in Charlottesville, Virginia, I tried to explain that there was blame on both sides for what had happened.
Liberal VMS readers like Michael Daily, who resorted to calling me among other things, a neo-Nazi, were not happy with a point of view that was different from the media’s race-baiting narrative.
His anger and hatred toward me was quite obvious, and worse, based on the media’s deceit.
I suppose telling the truth can be a fatal mistake.
After the Charlottesville “incident”, the city hired former U.S. Attorney Tim Heaphy to conduct an independent investigation.
The broadcast media all but ignored Mr Heaphy’s 207 page report (12/1/2017) in which he placed most of the blame for the C’ville violence on law enforcement and the city council.
The report quotes the C’ville police chief as having said, “Let them fight … ” But hey, why let the American public know the truth ?
Google: “Charlottesville report tells us what happens when the police fail to do their job,” USA Today, 12/4/2017.
Google: “Charlottesville video” and the Daily Caller’s, “Brutal examples of violence that occured by both sides at Charlottesville” and compare to my letters.
I don’t believe baseball bats, clubs, and soda cans filled with concrete are part of any “peaceful” protest.
Personally, I have no doubt the media’s agenda is to keep America divided.
How many notches would the hatred between liberals and conservatives go down if the media reminded all Americans that the Democratic Party was the party of the Confederacy; of all the Confederates whose statues and monuments people are fighting over; and of the KKK, for over 100 years?
Then again, hatred, violence, and riots, lead to more viewers, higher ratings, and bigger profits for all the media moguls.
In addition to bigger profits, another goal of the media is to get another liberal, pro-amnesty, prolegal and illegal immigration, freetrade globalist, president elected .
As I’ve said before, if you want to know the truth, you have to take the time to search for it yourself.
