NBC reporter tries to gaslight ‘F*** Joe Biden’ chant in real time
American Thinker ^ | 3 Oct, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

How stupid do those in the media think Americans are?

The disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal was the moment when the curtain was drawn back on Biden’s presidency and everyone saw the incompetent, duplicitous, cruel man in charge. Behind that same curtain, they saw the architect of an open border (with 400,000 illegal aliens expected this month), skyrocketing inflation, draconian mask mandates, intentional racial divisions, and more. No wonder chants of “F*** Joe Biden” suddenly swept stadiums and concerts. The media, though, are still covering for Joe, and nothing shows that more perfectly than an NBC reporter’s real-time effort to gaslight viewers about the “F*** Joe Biden” chant at NASCAR.

On Saturday, Brandon Brown, a relatively young driver, got his first win at the Talladega track when darkness meant the race was called with five laps still left. During a post-race interview, Brown expressed joy and gratitude. Good for him!

Also during his post-race interview with NBC, the NASCAR crowd expressed its discontent with Joe Biden. Over and over in the background of the NBC video you hear the now-familiar four-beat cadence of “F*** Joe Biden.”

Whether spontaneously or because she was getting frantic messages through her earpiece, the flustered reporter interviewing Brown tried to assure viewers that they weren’t actually hearing what they were hearing. Instead, she folds her gaslighting version into the introduction to the question she was asking the ebullient Brown: “Brandon, you also told me...as you can hear the chants from the crowd, ‘Let’s go, Brandon’...Brandon, you told me....”

Uh, no. That’s not what you can hear from the crowd:

The writer might want to use a different term besides “gaslight”.
That’s a nebulous, hard to pin down term, that has become overused.


It may be overused, but ‘gaslight’ perfectly describes to me this situation.

You are being told, by someone who is there and you’re supposed to be able to believe, that what you are hearing isn’t what you are hearing but rather something else entirely. It’s akin to ‘Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes’?

I’m kind of surprised that the term that comes from a movie from the ‘40s is so widely recognized and used today.

Before five years ago I would wonder if the media was just so ideologically entrenched that everything they said was through the liberal filter. Since the rise of Trump it’s become obvious that it’s far worse, that they’re willing to flat out lie. This is a small example but it’s still very dramatic that this reporter was willing to lie in real time about what the crowd was doing.

I’m sort of Old School about that. I would prefer the antiquated term “B.S.” used as an active verb phrase.

Ah the media thinks people are as stupid as they are.

And the phrase, ‘You can’t BS a BS’r’ rolls off the tongue much more elegantly than, ‘You can’t gaslight a gaslighter’

Gaslighting is weaponized lying. It’s a very specific, useful and powerful term that calls out the baddies. By no means is it hazy or hard to understand. People just need to: A) believe that people can behave in Major League evil ways, and/or B) realize that they themselves are engaging in gaslighting people with whom they have a close relationship (spouse, child, employee, supposed friend), develop remorse for that behavior, and reform.

People should start chanting “Let’s go Brandon” in the strangest of places, deny that’s what they were chanting to whomever asks about the strange chant, and then say, with a straight face, straight to the microphone: “We were chanting “Fxxx Jxx Bxxxx”, didn’t you hear us?
