The Press vs Trump: Volume Three (The Charlottesville Lie)

8 Comments on The Press vs Trump: Volume Three (The Charlottesville Lie)

  1. I don’t need to watch that.

    The Charlottesville lie is as big a leftist lie as Hands Up Don’t Shoot. Period.

    Pssst. In case you get the message.

    Leftist democrats are pathological liars. They are incapable of truth telling.

  2. A “Fair and Balanced” statement cannot be entrusted to those who dictate where the fulcrum is placed.

    When I was just graduating from high school, a newspaper reporter asked for my opinion regarding “consolidation” — the then-recent rezoning of our local city school districts in 1993. I presented her with a scathing rebuke of the school system for gerrymandering the districts just so the three high schools could have the same racial quotas. I complained about how many of my friends had to get up much earlier than the year before to take a bus they didn’t want to ride, headed to a school they didn’t want to attend, simply because they lived in “the black part of town”. I pointed out the irony of how 25 years before, it was called “segregation” when students were forced to attend certain schools because their skin was a particular color — now its called “racial balance”.

    The reporter then asked, “So there was nothing good that came out of consolidation?”

    Naïvely, I admitted that there were a few people who I became friends with (including a girl I had been dating) that I likely would never had met had it not been for consolidation, but not as many as I had lost.

    Guess what part of that exchange made it to press…

    The moral of the story: Never give the media the words they need in order to tell their story using your mouth.

  3. I’ve heard a first-hand account from someone who was there who also got maced by police on the same day (with Youtube proof). He said the protestors jumped on the guy’s car and he was saving himself from getting dragged out and beat up.
