When people know what happened but fail to report it, they are being potentially deceptive. When something is inferred that did not occur simply because they do not like said protagonist, the reporters are lying for the sake of smearing the undesirable protagonist. I completely agree with Mr. Zweig when he writes that Jake Lang's personal beliefs are noxious. That does not justify potentially inferring that he or one of his cohorts threw the IED. The muslim chap looks like he threw the IED. The fact that he is a muslim is immaterial to the truth. Did he throw it, yes or no? His religious affiliations have absolutely nothing to do with the answer to this question. Whether you like muslims, dislike muslims, or are completely ambivalent to muslims is beside the point. What happened? Your taste in people, political opinions, and so on are completely irrelevant to answering this question. Is that so hard to get?
They aren't being "potentially" deceptive, they are being deceptive. I've learned that much of the media's power actually comes from what they choose not to cover. Exhibit A: the corporate media constantly focuses on sympathetic stories involving illegal immigrants, while ignoring the ones about illegal immigrants committing serious crimes. When an average person only sees a steady diet of the former stories, this can't help but affect their perception of an issue.
I saw an incredibly, obviously deliberately misleading post from ABC News in my YouTube feed. I'd already read the story from a less biased source and could not believe the spin they put on it. They were obviously counting on people with low attention spans reading their misleading headline and coming away with the false impression they intended to convey.
That's the best example of the media lying - not actually making stuff up, but telling the story in a way that is willfully deceitful - that I've ever seen. Thank you for pointing it out.
Welcome back!
It’s important to document these purposeful drivers of false narratives - thank you!

Excellent analysis. Thank you.
So what else is new from MSM?
We cannot possibly hate the media enough. Absolutely impossible. But I am trying VERY ^#$%ING HARD.
Thanks for this, David. Watching many outlets struggling to describe simple, obvious, knowable facts about reality in their reporting is breathtaking.
Thank you.

He is an idiot. Does not know his b…… On my way! A hole in the ground.
Absolutely infuriating. They know they're lying and they do it anyway.
The MSM knows only one thing. Lie about the truth.
