Friday's Freaky Absurdities: The Media Invokes Strict 'Don't Say Democrat' Rule in Las Vegas Murder Case
In a week of terrible murder stories directly caused by Democrat policies, we now have this wild story out of Las Vegas involving a murder of a local journalist directly committed by a Democrat politician:
Notice that the headline makes no mention of the politician’s party affiliation. Odd, that. We can be sure that would not be the case were he a Republican, after all.
Here’s an excerpt from the story itself:
Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was arrested on suspicion of murder Wednesday evening in the fatal stabbing of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German, whose investigation of the politician contributed to his primary election loss in June.
The stunning development came a day after Las Vegas police asked for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the case. An early morning search of Telles’ home on Wednesday provided the first indication that the Friday killing might be related to German’s work exposing public wrongdoing. The investigative reporter was pursuing a potential follow-up story about Telles in the weeks before he was killed.
Police arrived at Telles’ home on Spanish Steps Lane in the western valley around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and blocked off nearby streets. Shortly before 9 a.m., police released a statement saying they were “currently serving search warrants” in connection with the homicide investigation.
They provided no further information until Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the Review-Journal at around 6:30 p.m. that Telles had been arrested. Shortly before that, a Review-Journal photographer captured an image of Telles on a stretcher as he was loaded into an ambulance.
Police announced Thursday that Telles’ DNA was found at the scene of the fatal stabbing.
“The arrest of Robert Telles is at once an enormous relief and an outrage for the Review-Journal newsroom,” Executive Editor Glenn Cook said. “We are relieved Telles is in custody and outraged that a colleague appears to have been killed for reporting on an elected official. Journalists can’t do the important work our communities require if they are afraid a presentation of facts could lead to violent retribution. We thank Las Vegas police for their urgency and hard work and for immediately recognizing the terrible significance of Jeff’s killing. Now, hopefully, the Review-Journal, the German family and Jeff’s many friends can begin the process of mourning and honoring a great man and a brave reporter.”

Again, no mention of the fact that Telles is a Democrat. In fact, you have to read all the way down to the 19th paragraph of this long, detailed story before you see grudging mention of the killer’s party affiliation. Were he a Republican, the word “Republican” would have most likely appeared 19 times in the same story by then.
This phenomenon was not limited to the Las Vegas Review Journal. Far from it.
Here’s how Fox4Vegas reported it:
Again, no mention that Mr. Telles is a Democrat. Not one. If you click through to the print story that accompanies the video, zero mention of the word “Democrat.”
Nor was this a local phenomenon.
Here’s how the Today show reported it:
The word “Democrat” never crosses this Democrat operative’s glossy lips. Because of course it doesn’t.
Now, all of these same corrupt, negligent, fake journalists are the very same people who spent months wailing long and loud about what they falsely called Florida’s “don’t say gay” law earlier this year.
It’s obvious the media has a “don’t say” law of its own: When a Democrat is the killer, they all implement a “don’t say Democrat” law.
Such utterly disgusting enemies of the people.
Let’s move on…
Here’s Preacher Pete Buttigieg, preaching his EV fantasy dogma again:
FACT CHECK: During the course of this year alone, the average price for an EV in the U.S. has skyrocketed, from $57k to $66k. It will be higher than that at the end of the year. Lying is all these people know how to do.
Best Twitter meme of the week right here:
Perfect.
This one from the Babylon Bee was a close second:
You can almost see Gavin Newsom telling EV owners they must all do their part to stabilize the state’s 3rd world-quality power grid by investing in their own giant home hamster wheel, and rolling out a state program to subsidize the purchase.
Great news out of Georgia:
One can only wonder what the leaders of the Democrat party will do to reward Stacy Abrams for a second humiliating statewide loss in Georgia? My bet is that she will become the next Chairperson of the Democrat National Committee.
Democrats always reward failure. Always.
I sure hope West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin got a huge payoff for saddling the country with another $800 billion in unfunded debt, because his betrayal might well end his political career come 2024:
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.
That is all.
Having lived in Fairmont WV a few years, which is where the GOAT Nich Saban grew up, I came to know the people as hard working and conservative folks. Because of that I think Manchin is toast as he should be.
I like the idea that Manchin has been shown to be bought then fails to be re-elected!
