What follows is an object lesson in why year-end best, worst and other lists shouldn't be published until the year actually ends.

A Kwanzaa "parade" was held in Los Angeles yesterday. In reporting on the event, CBS Los Angeles published a work of fiction which absolutely belongs on any 2014 list of most embarrassing moments in journalism (HT Twitchy; bolds are mine):

When you have to keep reminding people of the basic principles of anything, it isn’t legitimate to start with.

It is tantamount to reminding Jews what each day of Hanukah is about because they are so vacuous and transient (some might say this is a symptom of ADD) in their attention spans.

He earned it the Nawlins’ way. Graft and bribery. It’s good to be the King with all that bling.

Clarification: I do not intend to convey Hanukah and Jews are in any way comparable to Kwanza and its so-called adherents. The point is that Jews don’t need reminding. Their celebrations are real.

Here is what Zero and The Mooch are honoring:

Barack was just a wittle boy when all that happened (same excuse he used with the 1972 Pentagon bombing by Bill Ayers)...

They “report” or publish whatever they feel will advance the narrative. Facts don’t matter

************
The media does not report on stories; it “shapes” them to advance the liberal narrative.

>> the seven principles of Kwanzaa—unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith. <<

LOL! And how many of these principles are actually exhibited by the gibsmedat community?!

One of the comments at the site:

“A pretend parade for a made-up holiday in the land of fakes and phonies. Makes sense to me....”

Kwanza is designed to further divide the nation. Just like the Fergusion and NYC “I can’t breath” nonsense.

It is evil.

I agree. But you also have to admit that without benefit of Kwanza and its fake origins, Obama is still doing a very good job of dividing this nation.

For Kwanza to succeed fully, it will have to take on a more Islamic undertone - one that Obama can more readily agree with.

I saw a Video of the Parade on the local news. It was just a 10 Second shot.

They had a Float where a kid was holding up an “I can’t Breathe” sign, so I know it was this years Parade.

I just read the viewer/consumer comments at the CBS site. EVERYBODY (with one exception) there thinks the same as we do -- that the story is BS and that kwanzaaaaaaaaa is an anti-American racist farce.

So please understand that MOST people, way beyond just FReepers, understand the MSM bias and see right through it. This is true across America, coast to coast. The MSM makes it look like "most" Americans believe its BS, but the reality is that MOST Americans think the MSM is full of crap, just like MOST FReepers do. That is the good news that the MS never reports. Just as good, because if the MSM did report it, nobody'd believe it anyway!!!

Happy New Year and joyous Christmas to all!!!!

Oh, those crazy royals. Our betters love kwanzaa, the holiday created by a felon out of afro-blacko BS. What fools. What cultural degenerates.
