The American media, the people who breathlessly warned about misinformation and disinformation during the pandemic, are not to be taken seriously on the topic.
This past weekend proved the point, as one national news outlet after another willfully distorted Donald Trump’s use of a single word.
“Bloodbath.”
Anyone who went back and watched the context of Trump’s word will know instantly he used it in an economic sense, to describe the looming Chinese takeover of the American auto industry.
Much of the American media tried to make you believe in headlines and social media promotions that he was threatening bloodshed if he doesn’t win the 2024 election.
Whatever you think of Donald Trump, that is a lie.
It is also exactly the spin of the Democratic Party that is bird-dogging Trump’s every spoken word.
It is a lie that must be told with such pretzel contortions that you can be assured it was done with full knowledge.
This weekend, the major news outlets of this country became one great choir of disinformation that tried to plant that lie in the minds of the American people.
Now, I don’t really care if you dislike Donald Trump. I think our choices for president are uniquely awful. As I watch this election play out, I watch with dread.
I do........
