Its not just the biased, lying press. So-called “conservatives” like Hugh Hewitt, National Review all joined in on defaming these kids (and endangering them and their families) without having a clue of what they were talking about. The one benefit of these public show trials is that they show many “pundits” on the right to be the total phonies that they are (we already knew what garbage the press writes on a consistent basis).
I just heard the end of Hewitt’s show. He read the letter the young man wrote explaining what happened. Hugh says the kid did nothing wrong. Hugh really jumped on the bandwagon until he got additional information.He should have apologized to the kids, but he did not.
Add Twitchy to that group of conservatives who initially joined in condemning the kids. National Review (who ran what was, perhaps, the nastier article about the kids), nor Twitchy have issue apologies.
