No apologies from the Left over this yet... by AURaptor

America loves a winner!

It didn't happen. It was a lie.

But at least some in the business have ethics and morals.

Quote:
Kudos to The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart, who wrote an editorial Monday admitting that the widespread allegation that Michael Brown was shot with his hands up was “based on a lie,” and acknowledged he was wrong to have spread it.

Capehart’s headline was simple and to the point: “‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ was built on a lie.” In the lead, he explained how he he was initially taken in by the prevailing narrative as it was spread on Twitter the night of the shooting, and how he repeated the claims the following Sunday morning while guest-hosting MSNBC’s “Up w/Steve Kornacki.”

They know it's a lie, they want it to be true. Meanwhile they've forgotten about the two cops murdered in NYC.

The cult of the proggies. Knowing something is a lie doesn't matter nearly as much as promoting their greater cause.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

A few quick comments:

1) Let THIS be a lesson to KPO and G, who think that Twitter is always a source of authentic information. All Twitter is, is a gossip line.

2) Who the heck is "the left"?

3) The author of the article made a mistake, AND he owned up to it. That's more than BushII ever did about his pointless Iraq war, which cost thousands of American lives, a trillion dollars, and a hundred thousand other lives, as well as leading to the destabilization of several nations in the region. I'm not looking for an apology from "the right", but if Bush specifically owned up to his error that would be great.

The Left are the vast majority of the MSM, like the 4 dingbats on CNN, and ALLL those clowns who started up protests, chants, songs, wore t-shirts with 'H.U.D.S ' on them, and felt morally justified to stop traffic, interrupt brunches and cause genera chaos.

Idiots, ALL of them.

This has exactly zero do to w/ the war in Iraq.

ZERO.

It also has fuck-all to do with "the left". But if you're going to globalize a gripe that you have to a large, vague category of "them", "they", and "those", I guess I'll do you one better.

I consider myself a leftist (not a liberal) and you might have noticed that like KIKI, I also never got on the bandwagon. And neither did my leftists friends. So, as usual, you have no idea who or what you're talking about.

Those who lied about HUDS , who generally are the Left, have by in large, not apologized.

It was proven to be a lie.

It never happened.

Have you any thoughts on this issue, or not ?

So far, you seem to not have any comment.

( And yes, lets be perfectly clear, this WAS the Left. There were many of the same characters who showed up for the Occupy protests. You didn't see any TEA party protesters involved in this massive lie, and rampant destruction of property, now did you ?

Liberals have become highly resistant to assimilating information that strongly suggests that “hands up, don’t shoot” never happened. Conservatives have become highly resistant to assimilating information that strongly suggests that the Ferguson PD truly is out of control, in that it recklessly violates the constitutional rights of the citizens of Ferguson -- www.redstate.com/2015/03/15/many-conservatives-blowing-it-ferguson-doj

Libtards being incapable of admitting the facts does not excuse attempts to muddy the water by claiming that everybody is wrong about something, and look what we can make up. This is not a substitute for and apology.

Libtards were wrong, and intentionally hyping the fiction. They knew it, everybody with a clue knew it, and everybody who can read knows it.

They should apologize for their irresponsible reporting, at the minimum. OH, wait - CNN? nevermind, irresponsible hyping is their only product.

See, you can't just simply admit that these 4 bimbos in fact DID rush to judgement, and instead, you interject Rush Limbaugh, as an obvious red herring, as he has exactly zero to do with this matter. NOTHING.

Rush isn't a news anchor. Never has been one nor has ever claimed to be one. These 4 broads work for a news network.

Yet even Rush was able to dispense, distribute factual information akin the an actual News outlet, and getting the facts of this story correct, while the libtard outlet got every single fact of the story wrong.
More factually accurate "news" can be gleaned from one Rush Limbaugh show than from an entire week of MSM's Obama stenographers.

Quote:
NPR media reporter David Folkenflik writes in his forthcoming book Murdoch's World that Fox News' public relations staffers used an elaborate series of dummy accounts to fill the comments sections of critical blog posts with pro-Fox arguments.

In a chapter focusing on how Fox utilized its notoriously ruthless public relations department in the mid-to-late 00's, Folkenflik reports that Fox's PR staffers would "post pro-Fox rants" in the comments sections of "negative and even neutral" blog posts written about the network. According to Folkenflik, the staffers used various tactics to cover their tracks, including setting up wireless broadband connections that "could not be traced back" to the network.

A former staffer told Folkenflik that they had personally used "one hundred" fake accounts to plant Fox-friendly commentary:

On the blogs, the fight was particularly fierce. Fox PR staffers were expected to counter not just negative and even neutral blog postings but the anti-Fox comments beneath them. One former staffer recalled using twenty different aliases to post pro-Fox rants. Another had one hundred. Several employees had to acquire a cell phone thumb drive to provide a wireless broadband connection that could not be traced back to a Fox News or News Corp account. Another used an AOL dial-up connection, even in the age of widespread broadband access, on the rationale it would be harder to pinpoint its origins. Old laptops were distributed for these cyber operations. Even blogs with minor followings were reviewed to ensure no claim went unchecked. [Murdoch's World, pg. 67]

In the book's endnotes, Folkenflik explains that "four former Fox News employees told me of these practices." It's unclear whether these tactics are ongoing.

A wonderful column, providing a list of great fabricated news stories, which of course all libtards believe in, just like the Easter Bunny.
I had been considering making a post like this, but she beat me to it.

http://www.anncoulter.com/

HAND'S UP! DON'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST GAYS!

Happy National Hate Week! Today, we're all hating on Indiana. Who will be the left's Emmanuel Goldstein next week?

Evidently, the sole function of the media these days is to subject the public to a steady stream of manufactured events: "Hands Up, Don't Shoot"; nuclear power kills; Lena Dunham's rape by a college conservative at Oberlin; the "mattress girl" raped at Columbia University; Jon Stewart is funny; a fraternity gang-rape at the University of Virginia; and a law protecting religious freedom will lead to separate water fountains for gays in Indiana.

The whole country has to keep being dragged through these liberal hate campaigns, but as soon as the precipitating event turns out to be a gigantic hoax, the truth is revealed like a bedtime story being read to a child: The ending is whispered and the narrator tiptoes out of the room.

Here's a time-saver: Whenever one of these conscience-shocking stories is promoted to front-page status by The New York Times and involves:

-- police brutality;
-- the environment;
-- a campus rape; or
-- gays;

... you can be pretty confident it's a hoax. As the saying goes, it didn't happen until it's reported by The New York Times, and not even then.

Many months, several million wasted taxpayer dollars and one cop's career later, even Eric Holder's Justice Department finally admitted that the whole "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" story was bunk.

After the Fukushima nuclear meltdown in Japan four years ago, Bill Nye "the (self-proclaimed) Science Guy" gravely informed CNN viewers, "This is all bad and very scary. ... You know, it's nothing but danger. It's nothing but very serious, very, very long-term problems."

Wired magazine recently reported that, in the four years since the disaster, more than 96 percent of food, fish and agriculture throughout Fukushima has contained less than one-sixth of the radiation permitted in food imported to Europe.

Lena Dunham, star of HBO's "Girls," was forced to retract her autobiographical account of having been raped by a campus conservative named "Barry."

The alleged rapist of Columbia University's mattress girl finally released her alluring texts to him, and now we all know she was a desperate, spurned lover, not a rape victim.

Sabrina Rubin Erdely's much-celebrated Rolling Stone story about a fraternity gang-rape at the University of Virginia turned out to be based on one poor, sad girl seeking attention by creating a fake online boyfriend and fantasizing her own gang-rape.

And this week, we all have to be in a panic about Indiana passing a measure that enshrines a basic principle of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence, because of the utterly apocryphal assertion that the law will be used to turn gays away from restaurants.

The idea that generally applicable laws may, in certain circumstances, be required to accommodate individual religious beliefs has been around for centuries. That's why priests don't have to reveal penitents' confessions to the police and Quakers don't have to join the military.

Having won the war on gay marriage (by judicial fiat), now some liberal zealots insist on going house-to-house and shooting the survivors. They seem to seek out Christian businesses to provide floral arrangements and cakes for gay weddings so they can call the cops if the Christians try to pass.

A roomful of gays would say, "Why don't you guys just go to one of the nine out of 10 florists who would be happy to have your business?" (My guess is, if the zealots looked really hard, they might even be able to find a gay florist!)

That is all the religious freedom laws do: Encourage steely-eyed activists to stop requiring every last Christian to celebrate gay marriages.

Right now, in states that don't have religious protection laws, Christians are being compelled, by general non-discrimination laws, either to participate in gay marriages -- or go out of business.

With the law, the Christian gets a legal argument. He might win in court or he might lose, but he'd at least have an argument, thus encouraging the kill-the-survivors nuts to go to another shop for their gay weddings and stop doing their victory dances on top of Christians.

It's utter nonsense that any shopkeeper, least of all a nice Christian, would turn away a customer for any reason other than a deeply held religious belief, such as not wanting to participate in a gay wedding, a Planned Parenthood gala or any event involving Bill Clinton.

Do not assume that because liberals are in an absolute panic over Indiana's law, they must have a point. To the contrary, the more hysterical they are, the more you should assume the whole story is a sham.

When the journalist Richard Bradley raised questions about Erdely's Rolling Stone gang-rape story, Anna Merlan responded at Jezebel, calling his questions a "giant ball of sh*t," in an article titled "'Is the UVA Rape Story a Gigantic Hoax?' Asks Idiot."

Even after Rolling Stone had retracted the story and Charlottesville chief of police Timothy J. Longo confirmed that the man Jackie accused of precipitating the gang-rape didn't exist, his department merely "suspended" the investigation. I'm going to call Chief Longo with a complaint that I was raped by a unicorn to see if we can get him to actually "close" a case.

It's one thing to treat disturbed girls falsely crying rape with kid gloves. (Though the boyfriend of the Duke lacrosse false-rape accuser, Crystal Gail Mangum, might have wished she'd been held a little more accountable: Mangum was never prosecuted for her lies and she later murdered her boyfriend, thus dashing her hopes for a primetime show on MSNBC.)

But why do we have to treat liberal fantasists in the media as if they're children, too? Believing there's a monster under the bed is cute. Falsely accusing cops of murder, men of rape and an entire state of homophobia is not.

Every single cause championed by liberals is based on a fake story. They make up events that didn't happen and get apoplectic over things that never will happen. The definition of "liberal" is quickly becoming: people who believe their fantasies should be facts.
