Fake News: An Age 14 Boy Who Did Nothing but Smile is Vilified by the Media

[ryanman]

You're stuck on this old toothless fella huh? Stolen valor fresh out of phony Seals and guys who think Call of Duty is real and now trashing Privates who actually signed up and reported to boot?

He raised money by claiming he was a Vietnam vet.

I was in the reserves same as him, but I never boast about it. It was just a part-time job, one weekend per month and two evenings a week. It's very easy to at least get promoted to corporal in the reserves.

I'm the same age as Phillips, who like myself is a bit too young to have fought in Vietnam. I would never lie and tell people I fought in Vietnam.

What irks me is despite being a liar (saying he was a Ranger when he was a refrigerator repair man, saying he was honourably discharged, and saying he was in Vietnam) with a history of violence and jail time, he's a media darling, while some decent kids who did nothing wrong are being vilified and threatened with violence. It's an injustice.

It's clarified. It's over. Move on.

This isn't about injustice, it's because you have a win over the 'leftist' media. Like the right wing press wouldn't do exactly the same in reverse. This faux outrage is transparent.

did you follow the story, the kid got death threats. Faux outrage? Really. It was blatant misreporting and had an effect on every student at that school. It says a lot about how our media works. It really was shameful

No I know. I agree. It was absolutely wrong.

But some people are carrying it on and on because it suits their agenda, not because they are actually bothered about the kids. That's the 'faux'. I agree that what happened to them was totally wrong. But again, some people would not say a word if it was 'leftist' kids that were libelled by the right wing press. If you are outraged by the press actions, then be outraged by their actions regardless of which 'side' is the victim.

And “some” people continued the story even when the truth was available because it fit with a type of agenda they want to portray. See how it works.

Yep. Exactly what I was saying. Glad you agree.
Both sides as bad as each other. So it's a bit rich to be doing the whole 'booo look at CNN!!' squeal for days and days after, when they wouldn't say a word if it was the other way round.

It's not over. The MSM will continue to vilify white gentiles every day until we are gone from the face of the earth.

Most of the mainstream media (BBC, CNN, CBC etc) is run by people who hate White gentiles especially Christians. Now even Foxnews has been sold, so ALL of the mainstream media in the US, Canada, UK will run by that certain group you've been brainwashed by.

Are you a White gentile? If so, the very people you defend want you dead, they would harm your children and grandchildren in any way they could. They have always pushed for abortion on demand because they want to exterminate White gentiles.

I don't care about my own future so much, I'm old at age 63. I'm financially secure and I've done enough in my life. But I do care about my grandchildren and my grand nieces and nephews, and I fear for them.

And when I see young white people like those Covington kids being vilified, it reminds me of what the future will be for White gentiles.

You are probably too brainwashed to understand where I'm coming from. You believe White gentiles are evil, Trump is evil, even your own ancestors were evil. The media has taught you all that. After all, in the movies in recent years, the despicable people are always white men. You are in that nihilistic, cynical state of mind they want you to be in. I hope you wake up sometime soon, but you'll probably get old too soon and wise too late.

I think you've just made a whole load of assumptions about me and views I may or may not have. Note that my first post in this thread was a detailed explanation of the events and how it was clear that the boys in the video did NOTHING wrong.


So, who did I defend?

Wait, they ran a story that was blatantly false and they knew it. They aired a completely fabricated story and the school got death threats and still they are saying the look the kid had on his face was an act of violence. The school got death threats But I agree with u? In my opinion there should be more outrage, this wasn’t the usual political hit piece we are used to in the US this was malicious. It’s a shame people would say no big deal move along.

I think you're missing my point. But its late now so I'll clarify tomorrow. But once again, for now, I'll just say that yes, the media reporting of the incident was atrocious and not befitting the title of 'journalism'.
