Facts are obsolete only when we have a “State Ran Media” or a “State Friendly Media”
Guess which one we currently have....
For libtards, yes.
Yes and so is the truth. The narrative is all that matters now.
The American people like their educators are not interested in “just the facts”, but only “facts” that meld into liberalism.
Well, seeing how truth is the new hate speech...
“Just the narrative, ma’am. “
Like a bunch of white women who admit to voluntarily being with Cosby privately 20 years ago who now scream the most vile rape with no evidence, and everyone just assume the Black guy did it.
So much so that there are FReepers who won't even admit to an opinion, but rather refer to Cosby as if he is already a convicted rapist - hook, line and sinker.
MEANWHILE, Police-Black shootings have generated the prelude to a race war that serves ONLY the purposes of the Democrats, and the fact that Cosby is one of the most powerful and respected Black Democrats who has been, for years, telling the Black community to grow up, get off the government dole, raise their children, go to school and get jobs...
...is somehow irrelevant.
THOSE are the facts. But who needs facts when shills swarm like feeding sharks?
Yes - to the media and liberals, absolutely...and it’s been that way for awhile. What is important is the narrative and discussion it generates - what is actually true is irrelevant.
I agree with Sowell up to a point and that point is when he attempts to defend the Rodney King beating. I was in LAs at the time and saw the whole video. Contrary to what Sowell claimed the entire video was broadcast. At no time did KIng attempt to resist arrest, What he did do is attempt to CRAWL away from the attacking officers. He was on the ground and subservient but that wasn’t good enough for the officers. They continued to beat him without attempting to cuff him. They had numerous opportunities to do so but chose to beat him instead. Sowell is also either mistaken or willfully lying when he claims the grand jury failed to indict. The 4 officers were indicted and tried and subsequently acquitted when the all white jury deadlocked 8-4. Sowel also claimed the 2 passengers, Bryant Allen and Freddie Helms were not beaten. Bryant Allen was manhandled, kicked, stomped, taunted and threatened. Freddie Helms] was hit in the head while lying on the ground and treated for a laceration on the top of his head.
The civil rights trial concluded the initial strikes and “swarming” were justified but the subsequent latter strikes after he was on the found were not. Sowell is playing fast and loose with the facts in order to justify narrative, that Rodney King deserved it.
Sowell is playing fast and loose with the facts in order to support his narrative. “They deserved what they got.” Rodney King’s passengers WERE beaten. The grand jury DID indict 4 officers. The all white trial jury deadlocked at 8–4 in favor of acquittal at the state level.and the civil rights trial returned a guilty verdict and award. The video is too unclear to be sure what occurred before he was on the ground but ti appears King attempted to run away and ran into an officer Powell. King was laying face down on the ground when the officers started the baton strikes. What King did as attempt to avoid them as anyone would. Make no mistake. King was no angel but he did no deserve the 30 some baton strikes he endured.
I read outside the MSM and totally missed the above...
