Political Memes

That actually took a bit longer than I expected. Almost 2 hours for them to start lying.

Edit: the timestamps in the screenshot are rounded. It took almost 1:30:00 for them to make the accusations.

That's not a news broadcaster but some rando on Reddit with one upvotes...

Same here

Generally I think they try to painfully aim to be neutral, but with the Kirk shooter they seemed to indulge the jump to paint him as leftist and let the coverage emphasize the trans romantic partner angle and taking the bullet messages at face value without even mentioning the Groyper angle.

I think they mean well, but then I see it be all for naught. They had a right winger on and let him say as he like about how folks on the right have suffered and how it's all the left's fault, that all the violence has been leftists and they let him go on like this for a bit. Then they tried to at least add the context that not long ago multiple democrat politicians were killed and the right wing killer had a hit list to kill more of them, and the right winger just exploded about how unfair they were being and how they shouldn't exist as a news organization for daring to politicize the tragedy of Kirk's death.

Have also heard them trying to throw a life preserver to right wing interviewees to offer them a more legitimate sounding point than the craziness they were saying. Though more often than not the person rejects the potentially reasonable sounding rationale and looks all the more stupid for doubling down on their ridiculous rationale, so it still sometimes works.

NPR often times reports what is being reported, so if the rest of the media is saying it then NPR will say that’s what’s being said.

Sometimes it has the effect of adding their voice to the pile.

Same. I listen to both WUWM and WPR very regularly, and I have yet to hear them parrot this narrative.

When it's obviously a right winger, best they can do is "both sides" the narrative

Haha the guy's leaning right, but it's the viewer's left, so he's left leaning.

But he's holding the bird with his left hand, because he's leftist.

Everything is left if you want it bad enough lol.

my god

Nothing more murican than realtree camo my friend... 😂

Untreated PTSD with a large dose of hate speech and propaganda.

Could be violations to their constitutional oaths by their erstwhile leaders spurring them on

does it really surprise you that people trained to kill would… kill?

Week?

All religions are cults. And now, the sports.....

The so-called "left-leaning“ (in reality Centrist at the best of times and sometimes quite far right) media have a frequent tendency to report on ridiculous claims by the fascists without any indication that it's utter nonsense or even that there's no evidence for it.

BBC haven't been impartial for a while, example

Sounds like he was almost named "Jacknobobyeahthatsbetter"'

damn where are these prices 1990? 25 cents won't even get me part of a fucked up duck anymore

Military isn't the feds. Military also isn't not the feds, but it is more not the feds than it is not not the feds. Either way military is definitely not equal to feds, we just worked for them, mostly, kinda.

Signed a USN Captain Vet.

That was my theory. Not Catholic, but because the kid that supposedly helped Kirk complete his desire.
