Truth Revolt ^ | 5/16/2015 | Caleb Howe

Comedian and actor Ed Helms delivered the commencement address at the University of Virginia on Friday, and took part of his speech to tear Rolling Stone a new one for their fake campus rape story, a story which they later retracted and apologized for.

Now I know the UVA community has some experience with being defined by outsiders. It has been said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I would add that sometimes a rolling stone also gathers no verifiable facts or even the tiniest morsels journalistic integrity. Rolling Stone tried ...

And either way, the story has served to raise awareness about an extremely important issue in America: the casual disregard for facts that invades our media every day in pursuit of hallowed liberal agendas and treasured left-wing talking points.

I hope there were lots of administration and faculty personnel there trying to disappear under their chairs.

And either way, the story has served to raise awareness about an extremely important issue in America: the casual disregard for facts that invades our media every day in pursuit of hallowed liberal agendas and treasured left-wing talking points. At long last, to at least some extent, people are finally talking about it.

The most important part of the address.

Unfortunately, it wasn't part of the address. It was part of the article about the address. Mr. Helms is by no means conservative. This, from Wiki:

In 2010, Helms revealed that he had played matchmaker with Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres on the set of Arrested Development in 2004.

In 2012, Helms joined the boycott against fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A in the wake of Chick-fil-A COO Dan Cathy's publicly stated opposition to same-sex marriage. Helms called this position "lame" and said the fast food franchise had lost a loyal customer.

Jaxter is correct, Helms is not in any way a conservative. Sometimes people can’t help but see a truth when it is something they value that is under attack. Eventually, in some cases, that can press them to the right.

The best weapon against the left is the left.
