“No American Has Any Obligation to be Honest With Our Dishonest Media”

And no American juror has any obligation to find any defendant guilty for anything — until known criminals in the top echelons of government are in prison.

Pretty much the entire reason the FBI exists is to be able to present evidence to a jury that has integrity. IOW they have no reason to exist any longer. The FBI should be put out of our misery.

This reported story was not even based on an individual’s personal claim of something happening to them. The entire story is based on what a few individual (with their own agenda) claimed they heard about.

If you never heard of it there is something called the MANDELA EFFECT

https://mandelaeffect.com/about/

Where people believe something that did not happen.

There are many cases where people will share the same memory of an historical event, but the memories are all wrong.

So if this can happen with historical events, how can anyone trust any memory from 38 years ago.

You can go to any family function and as people begin telling stories (about their childhood) another member often would correct them on some detail. Who’s version is correct, they were both there but they have slightly different versions.

But here, two reporters wrote an entire book with the single aim was to ruin the reputation of a sitting Justice on the Supreme Court based not on any direct participants statement (who by the way already claimed to have no memory of the event in question) but on heresy from some political hack with an agenda.

There was no proof, no facts, no claim by any victim yet the New York Times printed it (excluding the paragraph where the individual claimed it did not happen to her).

This is not reporting, this is slander pure and simple to gain political points.

And all those that jumped on the bandwagon seconds after the article appeared (almost as if they all received the memo) should be ashamed of themselves

“This is not reporting, this is slander pure and simple..”

Slander is the deliberately spoken falsehood. Libel is the deliberately written falsehood.

“...enemies of the people...”

Just like Al Quida or the Taliban. They need to be exterminated.

King Edward the Long Shanks had less treason than what President Trump has to deal with.

Didn’t Joy Villa accuse Corey Lewandowski of sexual harassment? Wonder what became of that?

The despicable media laughed at Bill Clinton’s actual, corroborated “unzipped escapades”, rape and perjury. I hope every last one of them dies a slow and excruciating death.

And libel of a public person occurs when that person is defamed by a wanton and willful disregard for the truth. Which means Brett Kavanaugh has a case against the Times and the Atlantic.

Infiltrate an institution, gut it, wear its skin as a suit, and demand respect.

That’s what’s going on, has been going on, for a long time. Many things will run a long time simply on inertia, but the mechanism actually failed or broke a long time ago. That’s what’s going on with government, media, and education. We’ve been seeing some pretty big cracks in the facade, just you wait. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Americans are being punked by some of the dumbest mothe&fv&ers on the planet. It doesn’t have to be like this, and never did. Very, very sad.

I stand corrected.

However then, all those that rushed to the closest microphone and repeated the lies are guilty of slander.

"I hope every last one of them dies a slow and excruciating death."

But only after watching Trump get reelected in an electoral landslide.

Where, oh where do I go to have my First Amendment rights to a free press recovered. There is no free press here. Not when it lies with impunity. Not when it works against the people. Not when it abuses their rights.

BTW! I do not believe that the Founders defined our God-given rights in the First Amendment meant for freedom of the press to be only for a tiny fraction of the people. Not when all the other rights are for all people. If they meant freedom of the press to be reserved to only the press, it would have been a separate Amendment.

Where, oh where, do I go to have my First Amendment rights to a free press recovered.

Great post!

I would add to your list: big corporations, non-profits (including charities and churches), entertainment industry, public policy foundations...

and there are so many more.

I don't trust any entity that has more than fifty people in it anymore.

The Media, whether they are servants of truth or are out to get people to believe lies, are not in themselves the ultimate recipients of truth, it is information consumers. Do those consumers honor truth by believing it and living their lives according to it, or do they love lies, worship them and seek to exploit their idolatry over the dead body of the Truth?

It would be so easy to set the media up for massive libel suits.

The TDS is so strong with them that they could be easily misled by a small group of brilliant operatives.

Something along the lines of Project Veritas but with a sinister, revenge mandate.

It was Michelle Fields. And it was an assault slander.

Ben Shapiro was mixed up in it, defending Fields. Can’t stand him.
