Nathan Phillips Lied. The Media Bought It.

Ridiculous. This adult group of foul mouthed guys charged up to a group of school kids and started a very tense confrontation. If he had tried this crap on the Rez or in the Hood, he would have received a beatdown. The only reason this did not become violent was because he picked on some very good kids. And I hope these smearing bastards on the Left pay dearly for their malice and slander.

THEY SELDOM INTERFERE WITH LEFTY INTIMIDATION TACTICS: Where Were the Police During Covington Catholic Confrontation?

 

Depends on the elder.

"It was at this moment that Phillips, who had attended a nearby peace protest led by indigenous peoples, decided to intervene. He would later tell The Detroit Free Press that the teenagers "were in the process of attacking these four black individuals" and he decided to attempt to de-escalate the situation. He seems profoundly mistaken: The video footage taken by the black nationalists shows no evidence the white teenagers had any intention of attacking. Nevertheless, Phillips characterized the kids as "beasts" and the hate-group members as "their prey":

"There was that moment when I realized I've put myself between beast and prey," Phillips said. "These young men were beastly and these old black individuals was their prey, and I stood in between them and so they needed their pounds of flesh and they were looking at me for that."

The Media Wildly Mischaracterized That Video of Covington Catholic Students Confronting a Native American Veteran, Journalists who uncritically accepted Nathan Phillips' story got this completely wrong., By Robby Soave, Jan. 20, 2019.

NARCISSI CRAIG: Red Caps and Yellow Journalism.

What does journalism school teach these people?

According to their own standards of practice, “Reporters are expected to be as accurate as possible given the time allotted to story preparation and the space available and to seek reliable sources.”

Twitter is a reliable source? Seriously? What about Instagram or Facebook? Hey, how about the bathroom wall of the local gas station? The only difference between platforms is the method of delivery, and rate of infection spread.

Next they’d like to have the story to include, “Independent fact-checking by another employee of the publisher is desirable.”

For the record, your fellow journalist re-Tweeting the same information is not a method of independent fact checking.​

Seriously, guys, these are YOUR guidelines.​

 

MSM = Fake News = Fake Fact Checkers

"Thanks to the sloppy, one-sided reporting of the malicious, agenda-driven media, a group of Catholic high school teenagers and their families have become the subjects of threats and harassment from a hateful online outrage mob. Their only sins? Being white, Catholic, and supporters of the president.

The full story has emerged in the wake of the fake news blitzkrieg over the weekend, and the media outlets that spread defamatory smears against the kids are now being warned to correct and retract their stories or face a lawsuit. Contrary to the media's malicious narrative, the kids were not racist rednecks mobbing a Native American elder with hateful slurs. It was quite the opposite."

The guys whole story is bs. Since when is an adult getting in a minors personal space and staring intimidatingly at said minor acceptable?

 

It's how I am. I'm not going to change.

The kids are still last on my list of who to blame.

 

THE HARD BIGOTRY OF HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

 

Press failed Covington Catholic kids, Internet saved them

A day after another story of Mad Hatter Mueller's investigation blew up in the face of the press like an exploding cigar, the press latched on to the tale of group of white privileged boys mocking a poor old Indian at the Lincoln Memorial who bangs a drum to honor his fellow Vietnam veterans.

Now we know that's a pack of lies. We know this not because of any gumshoe reporting by the Washington press corps, but because a few good citizens fact-checked the story and discovered the lies.

 

...and because any viewing of the unedited video makes it clear that the media narrative was the opposite of the truth.

 

Before Al Gore invented the interwebs, we had no platform to get the truth out.

 

Do you think people will get mad at me when I start wearing my new red MAGA hat or my new Waffen SS black leather hat? They don't seem to mind my Russian hat.

 

Someone (in Brazil) said that Phillips survived the Wounded Knee battle.

 

What??? Adults invading (it’s on video) minors personal space(on video) is a minors fault?

 

Like since when does wearing something gives others the right to harrass anyone... it’s literally like when a woman gets accosted and the first thing people say is “well your dress was too short”

 

If it weren't for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all.

THEY NEED THERAPY: Conor Friedersdorf: This is How the Left Destroys Itself.

Conor asks why so many on the left get caught up in politically counter-productive overreaction to the Covington kid. A lot of it is revenge fantasy against some obnoxious jerk from middle or high school. The “smirking” Covington kid (or Brett Kavanaugh before him) becomes a stand-in for the hated adolescent alpha, who probably was as bad as they remember. They couldn’t retaliate properly then, so they publicly join a twitter mob that fantasizes about committing violence, while engaging in doxxing designed to effectuate it. Of course, Nick Sandmann was not actually one’s high school tormentor, and getting caught up in this sort of psychological drama is a good way to alienate those who notice the gap between the vitriol and the evidence purportedly justifying it.

 

The Diocese is filled with cowards too. Can you imagine what a shock it has been to these young men to see so many adults they previously respected, morally fail on this issue?

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, BUT BETTER NEVER LATE: Covington Diocese Makes Full Apology To Nicholas Sandmann, All Covington High Boys.

Possibly related: Nicholas Sandmann’s family hires ‘attorney for the damned’ specializing in libel, slander.

“Other notable clients include the family of JonBenet Ramsey, who were suspects in the child pageant queen’s murder, and Richard Jewell, a Centennial Olympic Park guard misidentified as having bombed his workplace in 1996.”​

 

So a girl who was raped shouldn't have been walking alone at night in her tight dress according to your logic?

 

The Left just hates. Understand That They Hate You: and not just a little.

“If they’ll ice a kid for not having the right grin, they’ll waste you or me in a heartbeat. Murder is, after all, how leftists roll. The USSR, Red China, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba – that cadaver-strewn litany teaches what’s lurking at the bottom of the slope we’re sliding down. The Dems are spooning with socialism, and the goal of socialism is written in blood on the pages of history. The unapproved must be liquidated, and they are making no secret that you are unapproved. Understand that and accept it.”​
