Acquittal Aside, The Rittenhouse Saga Shows America Is Still A Media-Run State

I knew Rittenhouse would be acquitted but it is gutting to witness the inevitable, to know there will be no consequences for the judge, and to know Rittenhouse and others like him will be more emboldened to be openly white supremacist vigilantes.

The Kenosha jury's acquittal of Rittenhouse was a severe defeat for the constellation of newspapers, TV channels, blogs, and Twitter bluechecks who are America's self-appointed checkers of fact and setters of narrative.

Make no mistake, though: Despite its happy ending, the Rittenhouse trial still makes it plain that America is a media-run state.

China has state run media, the Globalist American Empire has a media run state.

The effort to imprison Kyle Rittenhouse was a test of just how far the press's power to invent reality could go.

Kyle Rittenhouse was legally allowed to carry his gun, and did not take it "Across state lines."

In flagrant disregard for facts that were obvious from day 1, the press created what was in effect an entire alternate reality for the Rittenhouse case.
