BLUNDER BY THE PRESS DOWN UNDER

It is truly astonishing that people still believe what the main stream media(MSM) have to say.

I realise that we all have to believe something otherwise we would just go mad, like living in the world of crazy queens and body-less Cheshire cats, but believing the revisionist drivel that emerges from the 'pens' of most left-wing journalists these days is just plain lazy and quite frankly stupid!

The list of fake and blindly prejudiced 'news' stories that have been exposed surely should give most reasonable people room for pause...but no, it appears many still follow in the pathetic wake of the fakers-of-news or what Winston would call the Ministry of Truth.

For the most part, Winston is a typical cog in the machine. He works at the Ministry of Truth, but he has a very low-ranking position. His job is tedious and involves altering records to promote the government's version of history.  [1984; A summary by Catherine W]

Well we are currently witnessing another blunder by the press down-under; that is the 'progressive' Machiavellian's who enthusiastically promoted the (alleged) fiction of the lynching and bleaching of Jessie Smollett by two of his friends/work colleagues wearing MAGA hats (too bad they don't take the slogan seriously).

One would think that three professional actors would have made a more convincing fantasy of it given that they even evidently rehearsed it, but unfortunately no, what we have instead is the stupidity and hubris of 'celebrity' culture on full and glaringly embarrassing display.

Nonetheless 'our ABC' reported it in all its gleeful, racially charged ignominy.
Now that it is falling apart should we to expect an apology from the great wasters of our hard earned taxes?
I fear not, after all who do we think we are?
We are after all mere peasants to be moved about the board of history by the great and famous at their desire and for their benefit...nothing to see here...move along!:

Australian readers might find little unusual in this story, not least because improbable tales of Trumpian toxicity have been six-a-penny since the first days of this outsiders’ presidency. The Sydney Morning Herald‘s strangely disappeared man in North American, multiple Walkley winner Paul McGeough, provided what may well stand forevermore as the greatest example of confirmation bias since the New York Times‘ Walter Duranty informed Americans that the kulaks couldn’t be happier and reports of genocidal famine in Stalin’s USSR needed truckloads of salt. It’s worth quoting an extended slab of McGeough’s, er, reporting because almost all incidents he mentions beneath the November 19, 2016, headline ‘Make America Hate Again‘ turned out to be hoaxes. To help set the record straight, which two years later the SMH still has not done, the links inserted below lead to the real stories.

• In California, Turkish-American student Esra Altun was attacked in a parking lot at San Jose State University by a man who wrenched off her hijab and attempted to choke her with it.
• In New York, Fariha Nizam, a Bengali-American born and raised in the US, was berated on a city bus by an older white couple demanding that she remove her hijab.
• In Michigan, police say a Muslim woman in Ann Arbor was reportedly made to remove her hijab by a white man who threatened to set her ablaze with a lighter.
• In Texas, a Zambian student on her way to classes at Baylor University was called a n—-r and pushed from the footpath by a male student who told her he was “just trying to make America great again”.
• In New York state, students hung a black doll from a noose in an elevator at Canisius College in Buffalo.
•  At the University of Pennsylvania, black freshman students were added to GroupMe chats, in which they were invited to “daily lynchings”.
•  At a middle school in Michigan, the white students taunted their Latino classmates with a Trump slogan – “Build a wall!” – and at a school in New Jersey, they chanted: “Ten feet higher! Ten feet higher!”
•  In Georgia, an anonymous note was passed to a Muslim teacher saying her “headscarf isn’t allowed any more” and “hang yourself with it”.
•  In Maryland, a banner announcing a Spanish-language service at a church in Silver Springs was defaced with the words “Trump nation whites only”.
• In New York state, a swastika and the “Make America White Again” slogan were painted on the wall of a dugout at a softball field in Wellsville. In Indiana, “Heil Trump” and a swastika were daubed on a church.
•  In the Pennsylvania suburbs, a woman found her car daubed with “Trump rules!” and “Black bitch”. In North Carolina, graffiti on a Durham wall read, “Black lives don’t matter and neither does your vote”.
•  In those cases where no arrests were made, initial claims remain blanketed with clouds of darkest doubt. For those interested, scores of similar hoaxes perpetrated by their alleged victims are listed here. (http://www.fakehatecrimes.org/fakes?page=1)
