Mainstream and Social Media 1

 

If we had a real mainstream media this would be something they would write and talk about endlessly But, since it does not support irresponsible left wing narratives it suffers the fate of misinforminforming coverage, limited or no coverage at all. Why? Because they must protect their unethical and irresponsible far left wing Marxist based narratives. That is how awful our mainstream media is.

        Quote: "The National School Boards Association (NSBA) letter to President Biden suggested that recent “acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials,” could be classified as “equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism,” and asked his administration to “examine appropriate enforceable actions” under “the PATRIOT Act.” The NSBA letter, however, documented only two instances of violence at school board meetings. One of them: “In Virginia, an individual was arrested, another man was ticketed for trespassing, and a third person was hurt during a school board meeting discussion distinguishing current curricula from critical race theory and regarding equity issues.” If you consume social media, you’ve probably seen the video of the arrested man struggling with a police officer. The incident served as the lede for a Washington Post story and was also featured in Politico, USA Today, CNN, NPR, among others. Why was this man so angry? According to a Daily Wire article, it was because his ninth grade daughter had allegedly been sexually assaulted in a school bathroom by a “genderfluid,” skirt-wearing boy. There are too many layers of interlocking Lovecraftian horror to reporter Luke Rosiak’s story to explain here. But the reported facts provide a painful case study in how the realities of public education can be the exact opposite of the social justice storylines that many education journalists spin for a living.

          On May 28, 2021, the father in question, Scott Smith received a call asking him to come to the school because his daughter had been in a “physical altercation” with a boy in a bathroom. When he arrived, the school insisted that they would handle the situation inhouse. Suspecting that his daughter had been raped, and that the school was trying to cover it up, Smith started to lose his temper. So school officials called the police. On him. According to the Daily Wire, the police officers took the incident seriously enough to provide an escort to the hospital, where a rape kit was performed. Rosiak reported that the rape kit provided evidence favorable for prosecution, and that the young man was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy. Less than a month later, when the school board held a meeting to adopt a policy permitting bathroom access based on gender identity, Smith and his wife attended to voice their concerns. At that meeting, school board member Beth Barts painted concerns about sexual assault as bigoted paranoia, declaring “Our students do not need to be protected, and they are not in danger.” She then asked Superintendent Scott Zielger “Do we have assaults in our bathrooms or locker rooms regularly?” Ziegler declared, either lying or speaking from inexcusable ignorance: “We don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms. … We’ve heard it several times tonight from our public speakers, but the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist.” 

         After this exchange, Smith was approached and allegedly berated by a woman named Jackie Schworm, a frequent poster in a Facebook group, Antiracist Parents of Loudoun County, a group that compiled a watchlist with names, addresses, and employment information of parents who opposed woke school policies. Smith told the Daily Wire that he tried to explain what happened to his daughter and “she looks me dead in the eyes and says ‘that’s not what happened.’” Smith said further that Schworm noticed the name of his plumbing company on his shirt and said “Oh… I’m going to ruin your business on social media.” Sensing that the situation could turn ugly, a police officer moved to restrain Smith. He resisted, they wrestled, and the officer pinned him to the ground. Lost in the noise of the viral video, Smith’s wife cried out: “My child was raped at school, and this is what happens!” It certainly can be what happens. Though no one would have ever known it if not for Rosiak, one of the only education journalists in America who cares to unearth and report unpleasant facts. Days after this story was published, it received amplifying coverage from conservative media such as Fox News, The Blaze, Red State, National Review, Newsmax, the Washington Examiner, and the Daily Caller.     

         By contrast, a Google search shows no coverage from CNN, NPR, Politico, ABC, NBC, CBS, or Education Week. The Washington Post reported that Loudoun parents were upset by revelations that the same assailant went on to allegedly sexually assault another girl at the school he was transferred to. But the Post did not mention that the first alleged assault was committed by an allegedly gender-fluid male wearing a skirt in the girls’ bathroom. And it did not mention that the reaction of the girl’s father, which previously featured as a lede in another Post story, was cited as a key example in the NSBA letter calling on the Biden administration to consider utilizing the “PATRIOT Act in regards to domestic terrorism” in response to an alleged rise in threats and violence.The omission of these key facts, both very politically inconvenient for liberal narratives, is unfortunate. Because, as the Post says, “democracy dies in darkness.” NSBA President Chip Slaven, however, should now know the facts of the case. I reached out to him with the story and asked if he would consider issuing a public correction or clarification to his now-infamous letter, or if he stood by using Mr. Smith’s story as an example of what the Department of Justice should consider investigating as “domestic terrorism.” He did not provide comment and the letter stands unamended."  Meet The Media’s Top ‘Domestic Terrorist’ – Street Wise Politics          This illustrates just how unethical, irresponsible, dishonest, reprehensible and anti-American are our far left wing mainstream media and the Marxist oriented officials running our public education programs.

It gets worse. This is an example of our massively corrupt Biden Administration at work destroying everything in sight and how our far left wing media aid and abet the awful mischief. Quote: "In an effort to white-knight for both Attorney General Merrick Garland and the National School Boards Association, last week the Associated Press ran a “fact-check” to “debunk” the claim that the NSBA wanted parents protesting school boards to be labeled as “domestic  terrorists.” The AP’s fact-check is, on its face, a lie. What the Associated Press tried to do is play a semantics game as a way to label the “fact-check” false. In the letter the NSBA sent to the Biden administration, they specifically wrote that these protests “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” In the AP’s fact-check, the phrase “could be” does a heck of a lot of heavy lifting. See, they didn’t label them “domestic terrorists;” they just said they “could be” domestic terrorists. In their letter, the NSBA expressly requested a “joint expedited review” from federal, state and local law enforcement coordinating with the FBI’s “National Security Branch and Counterterrorism Division.” Really? Why else would they want the FBI’s counterterrorism division involved if they weren’t claiming protesting parents might be domestic terrorists? They also wanted the Biden administration to determine if the actions of these protesting parents are enforceable under the PATRIOT Act “in regards to domestic terrorism.”     AP Falsely Claims Biden Wasn’t Asked To Label Parents “Domestic Terrorists” | Freedom Beacon  

The truth of this assertion by a former press secretary is as obvious as the nose on our faces. Quote: "Sean Spicer: Mainstream Media Painting Fake World Around Biden. The mainstream media is not telling Americans the full truth about President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the failures that they are having as they navigate their first year in the White House, former press secretary Sean Spicer, who hosts Newsmax's "Spicer & Co.," said on the Dan Bongino show Friday. Instead, the media is painting a world of "rainbows and puppies and sunshine," Spicer said on Bongino's live radio program while discussing his new book, "Radical Nation," which he describes as being the first comprehensive analysis of the Biden administration's agenda.  Americans aren't hearing the truth, Spicer told Bongino, if they're listening to the mainstream media, and what non-conservative media is "not telling you is half of the problem, if not more." "They're not listening to Newsmax," Spicer said. "They're not reading this book. The media, if you wake up on any given day and turn on the Today Show, Good Morning America, or you read The Washington Post, the LA Times, the Miami Herald, what they're not telling you is half of the problem if not more." That is a problem, he continued, because by listening to the mainstream media, consumers are "living in a world that was created by 'The Lego Movie,' where everything is great every day. It's rainbows and puppies and sunshine and they do not let you know what this administration is really up to and the failures that they are having."     Sean Spicer: Mainstream Media Painting Fake World Around Biden | Newsmax.com
