*Ignoring new evidence, MSM cling to their Charlottesville narrative
American Thinker ^ | 16 Sep, 2017 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/17/2017 2:00:07 PM PDT by MtnClimber

The lethal violence of Charlottesville was instantly packaged as a narrative of violent racist Trump supporters killing innocent Americans. Defending that narrative becomes difficult when the facts start to be known, so the obvious response of the Mainstream Media has been to ignore the facts and keep pushing the old narrative.

My friend Mark Fitzgibbons pointed out to me that, “still no major liberal news outlet other than Politico has reported the DHS warning to Charlottesville that both sides were preparing for violence, or McAuliffe’s involvement.” That piece of news crushes the narrative, as Mark explained half a month ago. Governor Terry McAuliffe knew that both sides were preparing for violence and were armed. Yet he oversaw the forcing of the two groups into each other’s close proximity in a confined space, while the police stood down.

The headlines were in place before the event happened. It was a set up event.

Liberals can get away with anything. For now.

The Ministry of Propaganda never lets facts get in the way of the agenda.

I wholeheartedly agree, it was another media “manufactured consent” crisis.

I read where the girl who died succumbed to a heart attack, and not from being hit by the car, if she was hit by the car.

Anyone else read this?

Her mother gave an interview to NBC and said this in front of the cameras.

But.....why?

Why couldn’t they say,

“According to new evidence.....”?

It’s not about pride.

It’s not about collegiality.

It’s not about anger.

You have to pay people to do this.

That the small-minded McAuliffe would allow such an event to be staged in "Mr. Jefferson's" "little village of Charlottesville" is conspicuously obnoxious and disgusting!

From the "Monticello" web site:

" Jefferson's Gravestone"

"An article courtesy of the Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia"

"Before his death, Thomas Jefferson left explicit instructions regarding the monument to be erected over his grave. In this undated document, Jefferson supplied a sketch of the shape of the marker, and the epitaph with which he wanted it to be inscribed:

"... on the faces of the Obelisk the following inscription, & not a word more:

"Here was buried
Thomas Jefferson
Author of the Declaration of American Independence
of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom
& Father of the University of Virginia

"because by these," he explained, "as testimonials that I have lived, I wish most to be remembered."

If you are only interested in reading the article, it doesn’t matter how many times an article is posted.

But the quality of the comments generally is better when the threads are longer and there is more dialogue between commenters.

Just my 2 cents. And you got the Mr. part wrong.

The Evil Nazi KKK White Supreemists had a torch rally the night before, and there was no violence. The Governor and Mayor only had plans for the next day. The police sided with Antifa, under orders from the state and local government.

This could cause obvious problems in a prosecution for murder. Was she even struck by the car?

Around 45 seconds. As has been stated by another Freeper, it’s still possible that she was struck by the car (though no video or picture shows it).

There was some violence the night before, although it is not clear who started it.

From everything I have heard, the “counter protesters” were far and away primarily responsible for the street violence before noon on Saturday.

That is a subject that is being hotly debated on YouTube these days.

None of the video made public so far shows her being hit by a car.

No autopsy report has been released to the public yet.

The lib attitude:

“We control the MSM so simply MAKE SURE there is violence and then OUR people will then tailor the subsequent media narrative to our advantage.”
