RIGHT NOW at NRN w/Robby Soave: “We are Becoming Such an Unforgiving Society”

Disinformation spreads like wildfire in today’s age of quick online consumption. Bias causes many people to instantly accept negative news about their political enemies. When the tribal hive-mind kicks in online, disinformation leads to harassment and sometimes all-out fury. Robby Soave observed two fierce attacks on the Right and, after investigating, called out what he calls “media malpractice” and revealed the truth. The award-winning journalist brought the truth to light for two media-concocted, agenda-driven hoaxes: the 2014 Rolling Stone article about the fictitious sexual assault at the University of Virginia and the 2019 incident involving the Covington Catholic kids at the Lincoln Memorial. These experiences and other cultural observations led Soave to write his first book, “Panic Attack: Young Radicals in the Age of Trump.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row column_type=”block” font_color=”light” background_type=”video” video_bg_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0sH0KE2UkA” video_bg_start_time=”139″ video_bg_end_time=”900″ video_bg_parallax=”true” bt_text=”NEWS MEDIA” bt_font_weight=”300″ bt_font_style=”italic” shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ add_bigtext=”true” min_height=”100″ bt_max_width=”300″][vc_column][wvc_video_opener caption_position=”bottom” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0sH0KE2UkA” caption=”News Media Spotlight | Interview with ROBBY SOAVE”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Nick Sandmann and Covington Catholic

On January 18, students from Covington Catholic High School attended the annual March For Life in Washington, DC. While there, members of the Black Hebrew Israelites taunted and hurled filthy insults at them.

When the students could not take it any more, they asked a chaperone if they could start their school spirit chants. Their goal was to drown out the nastiness of the protesters. As they were chanting, a Native American elder and supposed Vietnam veteran named Nathan Phillips approached them, beating a drum in their faces while doing a chant of his own.

The man stood in Nick Sandmann’s face and beat his drum in an apparent bid to get the youth to react. All Sandmann did was stand his ground and smile.

But the media wasn’t satisfied with that narrative. Instead, they portrayed Phillips as the victim that he was not, Sandmann as the racist punk he was not, and didn’t even mention the Black Hebrew Israelites. An extremely short and edited clip of the video went viral, and outrage predictably ensued. Robby Soave brought the full and unedited version to light, and the debunked the entire false narrative.

Faced with Soave’s irrefutable evidence that the boys were being heckled by grown men, and that Phillips walked right into their circle (instead of them surrounding him), the media was forced to apologize and retract, and even then, face steep lawsuits.

If ever there was a reason not to trust the American Mainstream Media (MSM), the disgraceful attack on high school boys is it. In Robby Soave’s interview with NRN, he said: “We are becoming such an unforgiving society, which is a problem because there is more evidence [online about our lives]. Everyone has enough rope to hang themselves by now. We want to put people on the gallows, metaphorically speaking.”

Constant Fake News Attacks on President Trump

Multiple MSM sources all claimed that President Trump’s July 4 holiday parade in Washington, DC was a disgusting display of gross Americanism. Some said that US presidents never ordered tanks for parades.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wvc_audio_embed link=”https://open.spotify.com/episode/34dsQ2GNfkGneNOBDiMkO6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Even former Obama Defense Secretary Leon Panetta made the same allegation: “We’re the strongest military power on the face of the Earth and we have never had to display that power to the world in order to prove it.”

At least in the context of inaugural celebrations, the Washington Examiner reported: “Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy each had military vehicles and equipment at their respective inaugurations in 1941, 1957, and 1961.”

All of the Mainstream Media mouthpieces try to paint President Trump as a mad dictator, i.e., Kim Jong-un in red, white, and blue. There are many of them that claimed that presidents don’t speak at 4th of July gatherings. Is no one at the various MSM doing any fact-checking? Evidence clearly shows past presidents delivering speeches on July 4.

That list of speakers includes President Obama, G.W. Bush, Ronald Regan, Gerald Ford, JFK, and many others. Such irresponsible journalism, from up until recently established media sources, indicates an unhealthy level of political bias. The MSM is acting as the propaganda arm for the Democrat Party. This will backfire. People, in general, are not idiots, politics aside, and will turn to alternative sources for information as MSM outlets dwindle in ratings.

Progressive News Site ThinkProgress Shuts Down

Progressive “news” site ThinkProgress.org has shut down abruptly. The site has been instrumental in pushing Leftist ideas on the public since the G.W. Bush era. In July, ThinkProgress’ parent organization/think tank put it up for sale. So the news isn’t that big a surprise to its employees. The Center for American Progress issued a statement on September 6 that referred to the lack of a buyer as the main reason for the site’s demise.

“Given the challenging trends in digital news media that have undermined so many iconic outlets, it has become unsustainable for CAP Action, as a non-profit, to continue supplementing the growing shortfall in ThinkProgress revenue. Despite conversations with more than 20 potential new publishers, including several extended dialogues, those broad trends proved insurmountable in finding ThinkProgress a new home.”

With over-sensationalized headlines like “Trump promotes new video, complete with white supremacist symbol” and “Trump melts down after Fed chair critiques his trade policy,” is it any wonder that no one was interested in purchasing this Democrat Party disinformation portal?

An Ominous Omen?

The Daily Beast reports that the site will be converted into a place where CAP “scholars” can post.

The shutdown of the progressive outlet caused the layoff of about a dozen employees who were still on the staff. From the New York Times: “Judd Legum, the founder of the site who left in July 2018, said he would not have expected anyone to have come forward to buy it. ‘It wasn’t built to be a profit center,’ he said in a phone interview. Luke Barnes, who was a reporter at the site since August 2017, said he knew this moment would come sooner or later.”

This is just another in a string of events foreshadowing the future of the American news media.

It’s Obvious That Democrats Support Antifa

Sometimes the Democrats out themselves. No need for a closer investigation here. Democrat Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) both made a plea on their social media feeds that asked their followers to donate to help bail out the “allies [and] accomplices” who disrupted the “Straight Pride” parade in Boston, Massachusetts, this past weekend.

In addition to prior encouraging remarks from Keith Ellison and praise from Joe Biden for Antifa, now “The Squad” is fundraising for them. Clearly, this has the optics of using Antifa as an extremist, paramilitary wing or group of agitators to violently confront anyone who opposes the Democrats’ far-Left positions. For a group that claims to be against fascism, this is a very fascist thing to be doing. Most of them are too ignorant of history to appreciate the irony.

The Dept. of Homeland Security classified Antifa activities as “domestic terrorist violence” in early 2016, as reported by Politico. A year and a half later, on July 27th, President Trump tweeted the possibility of declaring the far-Left, “anti-Fascist” Antifa as a terror organization, alongside the violent street gang MS-13. This would allow the Dept. of Justice to take on the role of the real anti-fascists.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
