Politico DROPPED Obsession with Paul Pelosi Attack After Election Was Over
Newsbusters ^ | December 3, 2022 | P.J. Gladnick

After a total of ELEVEN Paul Pelosi assault stories appearing in the October 29 edition of Politico in which the alleged assailant, David DePape, was portrayed (with scant evidence) as a MAGA Republican for whom GOP officials were expected to apologize for, the sum total of these stories once the midterm elections were safely past dwindled to the extent that for the past couple of weeks, there has been no follow-up on the investigation of how this attack unfolded.

What makes it more curious is that after their October 31 attack upon conservatives for questioning the official account of the assault, there has been complete silence from Politico on the retraction of an NBC story and suspension of the reporter, Miguel Almaguer, for revealing that Paul Pelosi answered the door on the night the police arrived.

So why the incredible lack of curiosity by Politico over a story that it initially went into absurd overkill mode in promoting? Well, Politico inadvertently provided the reason in its final story related to Paul Pelosi on November 13, "Pelosi: Some people voted because political violence has ‘gone too far’."

And now that the Paul Pelosi story has conveniently served its political purpose, down the Memory Hole it goes so please do NOT question the official narrative ever again. Got that, Miguel Almaguer?

Not sure it was just a political election gambit or anything to do with the election as to why it disappeared from the news cycle.

Think it was more likely that they wanted to keep it from being discovered that the whole thing was just a booty call gone bad.

The nightclub shooting dropped off the edge of the earth too - seems the killer was ‘gender neutral Mx’... and the story died.

If the killer had been MAGA the story would still being used to paint all conservatives with the lying broad brush.

Eff ‘the press’...

It’s so incredibly rare that a devoted leftist (Almaguer) misses an internal memo and inadvertently tells the truth.

Exactly. Before the election it was a homicidal MAGA nut hunting down Poor Nancy. After the election there was no denying it was simply a squalid booty call gone bad.

Pelosi story drops - Nancy retiring. Done deal. Two more escape any accountability.

The larger lesson the Lord wanted to teach us about the Pharisees isn’t their particular hypocrisy and attacks upon Him, but that all of us are susceptible to it.

I don’t find the phrase “confirmation bias” in the Gospels, but I see it throughout — and so today.

I don’t believe that “attack” ever happened.
