    It isn't that Phillips lied it's that the media did. They were caught red handed. Do you really think it's the first time?

    Poor Nathan, eh. I expect his daddy can't afford slick PR to shove into his mouth or the lawyer to threaten lawsuits.

    You must really enjoy hypocrisy. You are literally in a thread where your side blamed the victim and you are crying claiming its us that do it.

    Must drive you crazy these kids are fighting back against the racists on your side who used their own racism to fill in the gaps where facts existed.

    "you reactionaries?" When have I blamed the victim? and speaking of reactionaries, who were the ones that jump all over this story claiming the kids were racist? Who jumped all over the Buzzfeed story?

    Since this thread is about MSM - here is a story from CNN that reports that there was more to the story than originally reported.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/22/us/viral-video-kentucky-students-toddler-hands-up/index.html

    So, yeah. When they find out more, they report more. Sounds like balanced reporting to me.

    The really funny thing is that the OP is outraged that this guy lied. President Small Hands, AKA Dirty Donny, lies or says misleading things 18 times each day (on average) and his supporters not only don't care, they lap it up like it was gospel.

    Trump has normalised lying. He is the biggest purveyor of fake news today.

    Top notch assessment. The problem is that the media have gone almost full bore over to the non-news to pure propaganda on two subjects: their progressive agenda, and hate Trump. There are probably a dozen or two of similar stories put out every day. It is impossible for anyone to analyze and rebut even a few of them, so they hang out there in the public's face to fester.

    So your comment on having video evidence of a hate crime is to ignore it? To tell the HS kids that they were just in the wrong place? Seriously?

    Where did I say that I admitted anyone lied? A lie is an intentional mis-statement of the facts. Saying something untrue that you KNOW is untrue.

    I don't think that happened here, or generally happens with the big news outlets. They ran with the information they had. When the got more information, they added that.

    It is in the nature of news reporting to run with what you've got. If the story changes when you've learned more, report that as well.

    It remains funny (in a sad way) that some people get worked up about errors by MSM, but don't give a **** about the 18 lies/misstatements that the president puts out EACH DAY.

    I don't expect that you actually read the part where the CNN narrative still hasn't changed. Just like the WAPO story of the same name. There just isn't about being "more informed". It's about not wanting to have to walk back the racist narrative they still wish to perpetuate and push on the public.

    LOL, that's funny.

    If he was in, it would have possibly been in 72 and the Vietnam war was winding down. He is probably a Vietnam Era veteran that never went in country. Most didn't.

    That doesn't really matter. If he served honorably he deserves to be recognized. Period. That doesn't excuse his stupid hateful acts and his lying and attempting to help the Leftists' get a young man's life ruined.

    BTW - This explains the difference in an Authoritarian and a Totalitarian.

    Authoritarians require that you comply with their dictates.

    Totalitarians destroy anyone caught disagreeing with them. Socialism is sometimes only Authoritarian.. For a while... Fascism is always Totalitarian.

    I agree. What I mean is that it is not unreasonable to make the claim of Vietnam Veteran as most don't know the distinction of being in country or out. If voluntary like I was, you don't have much choice where you are sent.

    It amazes me how you can be proven so wrong and not relent. How blind the lock step liberals are they are just mindless robots following the marching warders of their leaders. Trumps supporters continue to get told that they will believe and do anything that Trump says, well that is yet to be proven. But in this instance you have the liberals going off half **** and being totally wrong about a story and they will just stick with it. Why you ask, he is white, he smiled, and he had a red hat on that makes me go crazy and lose my mind. Nice job you brain dead robots, nice job.

    Forget him he is just a close minded liberal who can only believe what he is told. And it is easier to kill the messenger than to look deep and realize you have been sold a bad bill of goods.

    Jeb is like a Mr. Rogers but with low verbal ability and expensive shoes, kind of like an old-time wooden Indian.
