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

[ryanman]

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?

Freedom you beat me to the punch as I was going to say you could give two short and curlies and 'media fairness' and fake-real news. Your agenda is abundantly clear as at the exact same time this whole manufactured outrage was unfolding the Russian collusion Buzzfeed screw up happened. Now that was worthy of tearing media down and calling them to the floor. When a lead to a story starts with "if its true" and then goes into calls for charges by sitting officials etc. to the point of the special council coming out to have say the story is not accurate...now that's irresponsible journalism and indeed 'fake'. But since then..crickets for the most part the last few days. Nothing to bolster the Administration or legitimately hold media responsible and get the story out. Why? Because its not sensational enough, doesn't have all the key ingredients to churn a goulash of symbols, Religion, race baiting and constructed victimisation in the name of an innocent naive 14 yr old white kid with rosy cheeks being assailed by the big scary brown man with the bad dental plan and the media. It's easy outrage on the back of an agenda is what this is. Cheap and tired frankly. You're doing more to make and view this young man a snowflake than society ever could. He'll learn and Mr. Phillips will learn and as both indicated hopefully they'll meet and do what they should have done at the Lincoln Memorial, instead of becoming a viral media sensation and pawns for opposing views and keyboard flag flyers. I'm certain though that they unlike yourself will ultimately move on.
