Journalism! Yes, it’s true: trying to smear Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to pick up a couple straying percentage points as a whole point herd seems to be abandoning President Gabby Johnson (“Rarit!”) after his debate debacle, Vanity Fair actually published an “exposé” claiming that the third party candidate was photographed eating a barbecued dog in Korea:

Nah, there’s no mainstream media bias! Or stupidity…I read about that story and decided it was obviously nonsense. Then I saw the photo, and knew it was nonsense: As Lloyd Bentsen would say, “I’ve kept goats. I’ve seen barbecued goats, and dogs have been friends of mine: that was no dog.”

Vanity Fair deliberately launched a classic Big Lie. Sure enough, Kennedy had to refute it, keeping the lie in the news and being believed by the same kinds of dolts who believe Biden just had “a bad night” last week. Little Bobby responded, “The article is a lot of garbage. The picture that they said is of me eating a dog, it’s actually me eating a goat in Patagonia on a whitewater trip many years ago on the Futaleufu River. They say … they have an expert that has identified that as a dog carcass. It’s just not true.” He then added on “X”: Hey @VanityFair, you know when your veterinary experts call a goat a dog, and your forensic experts say a photo taken in Patagonia was taken in Korea, that you’ve joined the ranks of supermarket tabloids. Keep telling America that up is down if you want. I’ll keep talking about the fact that working families can’t afford houses or groceries because our last two presidents went on a $14 trillion debt joyride, paid for by hard-working Americans. The DNC media’s garbage pail journalism may distract us from President Biden’s cognitive deficits but it does little to elevate the national debate or reduce the price of groceries.”

This, as Big Lies are supposed to do, gave our disgusting hack journalists a chance to run headlines like “RFK Jr. denies eating a dog while sidestepping sexual assault allegations in Vanity Fair article.” That’s CNN (The Hill: “RFK Jr. says it was a goat, not a dog in that Vanity Fair photo“): the headline should be “Vanity Fair Publishes Ridiculous Lie to Smear RFK Jr,” but that’s not how Goebbels said to use Big Lies to ruin your foes. As it has proven beyond all doubt during the 2016 Post Election Ethics Train Wreck, our corrupt progressive media is his loyal disciple.

[Nagging thought: Punishing these terrible, lying, destructive “enemies of the people” by electing Trump in a landslide is as good a reason to vote for him as any.]

Oh—the same article accuses RFK of sexual misconduct. Hilarious. The man is named Kennedy: this isn’t even “Dog Bites Man” level news! It’s more like “Sun Is Hot”.”” level news. Of COURSE he’s been sexually promiscuous and has engaged in sexual misconduct, though the same conduct never seemed to interest the Leftist media when the miscreants were this Kennedy’s father and uncles.

WOW our journalists are disgusting! How can anyone argue that they can be trusted, ever, about anything?
