Thank you, mainstream media, for showing how complicit and willing you are to shill any view given by those in power.

Journalism is dead and has been for decades, sadly.

    This was too stupid to be true, yet they ran with it. The MSM is dying, from self-inflicted wounds.

    1. Publish BS that one side of the political aisle wants to hear & they eat it up.

    2. Publish article calling out the first story's BS, and get those on the other side of the political aisle eating it up.

    3. Profit!

    EDIT: fixed "aisle" thanks to @imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works. I know that's the correct word, but I dunno why I didn't think of it when writing this initially. I think my brain's slowly turning to mush as I age.

    sigh

    Agreed. We've turned into the headline mattering more than the content.

    Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Lemmy, etc., there's comments everywhere "did you even read the article?" We're looking for the fastest confirmation bias and it's easy when it's the title.

    Fox News and OAN will run with the transgender headline and be quiet at the redaction, the damage is done.

    What people are slow to realize is how well the Trump administration is playing this game. The headlines about Trump suing over the 2020 election is all they wanted, people tend to give validity to something that's at the courts, regardless of the verdict.

    Would like more confirmation on this than a picture of a tweet saying so.

    and all retractions and corrections will be touted as cover ups. The damage is done, innocents will be attacked over it.

    Lol they will never see the retractions. I'm sure my more conservative friends will bring this up as of its gospel years after.

    One of them recently referred to the Trump shooter as a blue haired lefty extremist.

    Rupert Murdoch deserves to be flayed alive for his crimes against humanity and its societies.

    Nothing will happen as a result of this, if justice is going to be brought against the global oligarchy it won't come from our governments.

    Conservatives are incapable of being shamed. They elected a pedophile and convicted felon who put together the least qualified government in history, and cheered when a South African Nazi threw out Nazi salutes behind the podium of the president. If none of that could make them feel ashamed, then falsely blaming the shooting on their current greatest enemy, trans people, has no chance.

    From what I'm seeing:

    Suspect's bullet casings had anti-fascist inscriptions engraved
    By Danielle Abreu
    Gov. Cox confirmed that investigators discovered a bolt-action rifle and scope wrapped in a towel and inscriptions engraved on bullet casings belonging to the suspect in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk.
    
    One of the inscriptions read, "Hey, fascist. Catch!" and another read, “If you read this, you are gay." A third casing had the lyrics to “Bella Ciao," an Italian folk anthem sung by the anti-fascist resistance movement during World War II.
    

    Looks like it's possible. Sidenote, hilarious to me hearing the Utah governor read what sounds like c/196 transcriptions in such an official voice.

    Honestly, if there's gonna be engravings on bullet cases, I'd leave just three words: Change My Mind.

    Conservatives have no shame. That's why the U.S is where it is.

    Regressives feel no shame. People without empathy don't feel shame. They do promote and support hate.

    I heard he said "Hilary Clinton sends her regards purple monkey dishwasher" right before he opened fire.

  • Damage was done and the anger it put into conservative hearts isnt going away even if they admit it was bullshit. They will justify their anger with some vague comeback and keep on hating

    WJS, is that the same newspaper that reported the 40 beheaded babies in Israel then retracted it?

    If they can make up shit then I can as well. The shooter was definitely a hardcore maga supporter. TRN obviously stands for Trump National Republic or something idk

  • Like they’d ever apologize. “Well this is what libs do anyway…”

    There was one unused casing that said something like “take that fascist” so I can understand why they’d call it anti fascist. The cringe ones were just assigned to trans people who also have online cringe culture.
