“Despite having seen the video, Nation Review refuses to immediately comment, saying that they are awaiting more information.”
Why the hell is OUR SIDE so scared of a headline like that. OUR SIDE seems to equate the above with saying something like the following (and this is hypothetical only):
“And despite their history of lynchings, National Review says that the KKK helped limit crime in the American South”
(again, hypothetical)
Note the difference between the two quotes, yet National Review and most of OUR LEADERS look at them as virtually the same any time the Leftist Media is spun into a tizzy by something.
---We were wrong on the facts.
---Our self regard drove us to immediate pontification when questioning the limits of our knowledge would have been better.
---We've appointed ourselves guardians and gatekeepers of the 'conservative' brand. This is presumptuous and inappropriate. That's why we're harshly critical of those who ought to be allies, especially when compared to our treatment of commies.
---We resolve to do better.
