The Media’s Lies Keep Getting More Absurd

I know I pound on this topic endlessly, but until the media quits pushing hoaxes, I won’t quit calling them out. 

The past few weeks have been especially taxing, both to my aching hands as I bookmark example after example of outright falsehoods pushed by the media, and to my sanity as I rage against the propaganda and know that millions of people swallow the lies, hook, line, and sinker. 

This particular case of media excrement strikes a bit closer to home than many, because the events involved took place in my backyard, and the lies about ICE enforcement activity in the Minneapolis region irritated me no end.

You may recall the case where an illegal immigrant father abandoned his 5-year-old son while running from immigration enforcement officers. The media embraced a completely false narrative of the child being detained and used as “bait” to capture his father, as if the proper thing to do with a child abandoned by his parents was to leave him on the side of the road. 

I guess they really do think that, given how concerned the liberals and the media were with the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors who were handed out to human traffickers in the United States, come to think about it.

The media relentlessly pushed this story, repeating it endlessly and completely inaccurately to make ICE look evil. You know, the “Gestapo.” The current shutdown of funding for the Department of Human Services, being imposed on Americans in the midst of a war with a terrorist regime, is founded upon those lies. 

The hoax has been debunked so many times, and repeated by the media so many times, that it will soon rival the “51 Intelligence Officials” hoax. 

Anything to promote the narrative. 

It really does matter that the media does this, because repetition turns into common knowledge for many people, as we all know from the experiences we have had talking to the brick walls that our friends and families have become on anything Trump. 

We may revel every time a hoax is debunked, but the fact is that the falsehoods become foundational truths for many. They really believe these hoaxes. How many people now repeat the “Pedophile Trump” nonsense?

CNN was recently caught lying FIVE TIMES and “apologizing” five times for outright lying about the New York City terrorist attack, and countless millions now believe that white supremacists tried to kill Zohran Mamdani. Only once did they apologize on the air about those lies. 

Lies about Mamdani are a near constant these days, with the media covering for him and his raging antisemitic wife, who celebrated Hamas terrorism. 

“The New York Times coverage of Mamdani is one of the top 25 outrages of media bias I’ve ever seen,” says @MarkHalperin about the Gray Lady and the Gotham mayor. “It’s phenomenal the way they cover him. They bend over backwards every day to paper over not just his outrageous… pic.twitter.com/yCpGelrNow

Coverage of the Iran war has been beyond atrocious, beyond belief. Islamist terrorist who murdered tens of thousands of people are suddenly moderates who want to bring peace and light to the Middle East. Iran is winning the war, we are told. Trump administration officials are lying, while Iranians are the good guys.

Democrats suddenly love Joe Kent, after every single one of them voted against him because they claimed he was a Nazi.

Actual Nazi sympathizers like Graham Platner are left-wing heroes, simply misunderstood.

Democrat Ruben Gallego defends Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo as just a “stupid tattoo.”

These same people call you Nazis because you want the border closed.

Unbelievable.

Pete Hegseth was beyond the pale because he had a tattoo with a Jerusalem Christian cross on his chest. Nazis, as long as they identify as progressives, are fine. Christians are dangerous as hell. 

When Texas Antifa terrorists were convicted of ambushing federal law enforcement officers, the media called this a fascist attack on protesters. 

Nine Antifa terrorists plotted and engaged in a coordinated attack on an ICE Detention center in which they tried to kill detention center personnel, including unarmed corrections officers

And the Washington Post is claiming them to be “protesters”

I would say you can’t make this up, except, apparently, they can. Because they are Pravda, and nothing they do has to make sense.
