NBC's Example Of a Hysterical Trump Supporter Was a Liberal Kimmel-Employed Actor
Newsbusters ^ | 05/31/2024 | Alex Christy

When NBC went on the air on Thursday for their special coverage of former President Donald Trump’s conviction in New York, legal analyst Laura Jarrett touched on the reaction the verdict received from his supporters. The only problem for NBC was that the footage they showed alongside Jarrett of a hysterical Trump supporter who could be heard yelling and screaming throughout her report was of a Jimmy Kimmel-employed liberal actor.

The man’s name is Tony Barbieri, who does a bit for ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he calls himself Jake Byrd and travels across the country acting like a caricatured conservative, and NBC is hardly the first media outlet to treat him as an actual conservative. In 2022, CNN actually interviewed him pretending to be a Herschel Walker supporter.

Jarrett reported that “You can hear the crowd here. There’s a lot of Trump supporters out here that you can hear, are very worked up as I was reading the verdict, I could hear the crowd. Emotion growing behind me. I'm only a couple yards away from the area that you can see on your screens right there, sort of, the First Amendment area, if you will. Just a stone's throw away from the press area. It’s been growing as the day went on.”

Just as CNN should’ve been tipped off by Barbieri’s Hillary Clinton-inspired “I’m with Herschel” shirt, NBC should’ve been tipped off by his “Free Father Teresa” sign, which is a reference to a comment Trump made earlier in the trial that amused Kimmel.

They won’t issue a correction. It was intentional propaganda

If it weren’t for fake news, the MSM would have no news to report at all.

This reminds me of a late 1990s era "man on the street" interviewee named Gregory Packer who was frequently identified as a typical person on the street stopped by the media to give an impromptu opinion on the issue of the day.

It was Ann Coulter who finally realized who this serial interviewee was, and wrote about it in a column from 2003.

Satan is called “the Prince of the Power of the Air” in the Bible

Ephesians 2:1-3
21st Century King James Version

2 And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

2 wherein in times past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the Prince of the Power of the Air, the spirit that now worketh in the Children of Disobedience.

3 Among these also we all had our manner of living in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202:1-3&version=KJ21

Perhaps Satan is “the Prince of the Power of the Air(waves)” as well.

It would certainly seem so. Especially these days.

Prince of the Power of the Air

We humans have assigned the broad concept of the word "air" to also refer to media - airwaves, over-the-air, air-time, on-air, etc....

Given humans just like us transcribed/wrote/translated the Bible, with the same concepts in mind, I believe we should consider it the same. Its not a coincidence

Prince of the power of the airwaves.

A liar and a murderer from the beginning.

And who can forget about this classic case of "truthful" reporting?

Photoshop much?
