Several readers sent me this. It is despicable, of course. I am genuinely in despair over how our journalism is behaving, especially as a key midterm election looms and the most unethical, power-obsessed, dishonest and un-American major party threatens to inflict chaos on society.
I shouldn’t have to explain what’s wrong with that NBC news smear above, but for the record…
1. Kyle Rittenhouse having a serious spider bit is, if anything, less important as national news that Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. The item obviously was dredged up to take a cheap shot at Rittenhouse.
2. He didn’t “open fire,” which is a deliberately misleading and deceitful description of his actions. Rittenhouse defended himself, as a jury trial determined.
3. That “2020 civil rights rally” was a dangerous riot.
4. The term “gunman”is inherently pejorative, and, again, is intended to be.
5. “Advocacy journalism” again. Advocacy journalism is unethical journalism.
As in 2024, the Democratic Party needs to be decisively rejected and defeated because it is the entire Axis up for election along with it. If the biased, propaganda-flinging, partisan news media isn’t crushed and reformed soon, I don’t see how American democracy, including individual rights, can possibly survive. Remember, it is NBC engaging in this smear, not MSNOW, or CNN. It’s an ancient legacy news source. Horrifying.
These are the links for the Kyle Rittenhouse Ethics Train Wreck. I even wrote a song parody about it, as the Axis campaign to punish Rittenhouse was so blatant it was satire worthy. “The Twelve Lies of Rittenhouse” is here.
Ethics Alarms 
Advocacy Journalism is an oxymoron. It’s propaganda wolf dressed up in sheep’s clothing.
The ratio of people who think Rittenhouse shot black protesters against the number who know he was volunteering to protect the premises of an immigrant family’s used car lot that had already suffered an incredible amount of damage is astounding.
“Kyle Rittenhouse… opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin…”
WOW, that statement is pushing about as close as you can get to being an intentional defamation smear without actually being defamation in the legal sense. I’m sure the intent was to publicly defame Rittenhouse and present a false innuendo smear that would go viral, so NBC’s ignorant leftist parrots that swallow this kind of swill as truth will have a new piece of propaganda to endlessly parrot.
NBC is morally bankrupt.
This is why I don’t trust mainstream reporting anymore. I don’t seriously read the New York Times or NBC. I barely read the others. I use the mainstream sources for the topic, but I don’t trust their reporting on the topic. Wokeism is corrupting everything.
