NYT Performs PR for Teens on Gun-Grabbing Bus Tour, Pushing Laundry List of Left-Wing Issues
newsbusters.org ^ | 8/16/2018 | Clay Waters

Under the pretense of journalism, reporter Maggie Astor provided some public relations with the valuable New York Times-imprimatur for the children’s crusade for gun control (and a laundry list of made-up left-wing issues like “systems of oppression”) in Thursday’s lead National story, “Speakers, Students, Activists, Survivors – On the road with teenagers from the March for Our Lives.”

Both the teen activists and the supposed journalist skipped over how the massacres of students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida actually transpired, partly due to dereliction by both the Broward County sheriff’s department and the police deputy assigned to the school. There was no mention of how mental health clinicians missed danger signs from shooter Nikolas Cruz.

The Times has covered those issues, albeit sporadically, in between bootless calls for even stricter gun control, but on Thursday the focus was on student activist David Hogg and company pushing a left-wing agenda by bus:

Six months and a day after a gunman massacred 17 of their classmates and staff, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School woke up Wednesday and began a new year.

For the past two months, a busload of them have traveled the country in pursuit of stricter gun laws, connecting with local activists, holding rallies, debating counterprotesters and, above all, registering voters....The New York Times spent three days on the road with the March for Our Lives activists to find out what changed.

"Under the pretense of journalism" Well at least one honest statement. LOL! Isn't it all pretense now? Anyway, I thought this would be an incentive to go to the range this weekend or stock up on ammo, buy a new gun or something like that. Don't let little dave and the hoggalinskis get the upper hand.

Saw in an earlier post the place has been partially bulldozed. Besides, the suspects are moose limbs so the kids would probably be confused on what to do. Embrace the “refugees” but telling them not to shoot?

Why don’t the teens go protest the New Mexico judge that let the teachers of school shootings out on bail?

I’ve seen the pic cropped to eliminate the two that kind of keep a straight face in the pic.

She’s on their side. Somehow. Pretty sure she opposes the 2nd amendment. But I don’t know for sure.

Link to the NYT article mentioned by Newsbusters.

Lots of words and nice pictures in the NYT piece, but not one word about who is paying for all this.

Soros?

Gabby?

Democrat Party?

GoFundMe?

Well?
