Tuesday's Absurdity of the Day: When the Fake Story Fits the Narrative, Print the Fake Story
So, our utterly corrupt corporate news media, other than Fox News, has spent the last several months mute as monks about the human atrocity taking place in Del Rio, Texas, where no fewer than 15,000 illegal aliens, mostly from Haiti, have gathered beneath a bridge in the sweltering heat.
While Fox has had reporters on the ground and has been flying a drone showing images of the growing crisis, MSNBC ignored the story entirely, CNN ignored it, ABC ignored it, NBC ignored it, CBS ignored it, as did every major newspaper in every major city in America outside of Texas. They all ignored it for one simple reason: That story and the horrific images it produces is not consistent with the Sock Puppet administration’s narrative.
That narrative says the situation at the border is under control. It insists that the border is “closed” and that Kamala Harris is working to address the “root causes” of illegal immigration. It insists that there’s nothing to see here, folks, move along.
So, all the corrupt reporters and all the corrupt editors decided in unison - except for Fox - that the only thing for them to do was to adopt the administration’s laughably false narrative and pretend there was nothing worth reporting on down there in Del Rio, asking their readers and viewers the classic fake news questions: who you gonna believe, us or your lyin’ eyes?
And their readers and viewers, having already been brainwashed into submission by the last 30 years of rampant fakenewsery that would make Joseph Goebbels blush, nod their heads in unison and go out and parrot the narrative on their Twitter and Facebook pages. In a sane society, all these corrupt, fake journalists could never hold a job; some would be in prison for what they’ve done.
But the goose-stepping strategy of ignoring Del Rio all changed yesterday, and it changed due solely to the release of this single image by the Sock Puppet administration:
That’s a Border Patrolman on the horse, trying to capture two Haitian illegals and place them in custody. It’s the kind of scene that takes place in South Texas and Arizona and New Mexico all the time. Every day. Truly, if there is a non-story taking place around Del Rio right now, this is it.
But to the Gen-X simpletons who have by and large grown up in incredible privilege hundreds of miles away from the border with Mexico, and gone to “journalism” school at places like Columbia, Berkeley and Princeton, this was a horrifying image. To these ignorant nitwits, the Border Patrolman is the bad guy, and the Haitian immigrants who have violated U.S. law by illegally crossing the border are the good guys.
Even worse, the Border Patrolman is - gasp! - white and the Haitians are black, and even worse than that, in the minds of these depraved nitwits, the white guy is hitting the black guys with a … wait for it … bull whip!
I kid you not, every one of these incredibly ignorant jackasses looked at that photo and immediately rushed out to report that the U.S. Border Patrol is literally attacking Haitian immigrants with whips, and some even said that the image brings back memories of the pre-Civil War South.
Thus, suddenly, every one of the corrupt media outlets who had spent months studiously ignoring the real story at Del Rio was now reporting the fake story, the one that fits the fake narrative.
How fake is the story? Listen up, kids: That’s not a whip. It’s a set of split reins. You know, the leather thingies that are used by the rider to steer the horse. See, you don’t just lean down and whisper in the horse’s ear “turn left” and expect ol’ Nellie to make a left turn. Horses are special animals that respond to special signals. When it comes to steering, they respond best to a man or woman pulling on a set of reins in very specific ways.
To those of us from Texas this is all very simple common knowledge. But it became quite obvious yesterday that almost no one in our national news media has any understanding of any of this. I can’t say that surprises me in any real way, but it is pretty damn sad.
For all you CNN and New York Times employees still doubting this, here’s a photo of a horse outfitted with such reins:
Oh.
Our news media outlets are utter, absolute garbage staffed by utter, absolute garbage people.
That is all.
